Dear all,

Please excuse me if this more-or-less replicates any earlier postings.

For my dissertation I'm researching how labor was managed through auditory signals in antebellum America. Right now I'm looking at how bells and horns were used on southern plantations to manage agricultural slave laborers. I have some information on the bells, & lots of descriptions of the various types of horns (cow, conch, & metal). But I haven't actually seen an example of a planation horn. Does anybody know of one (or more) in a museum or private collection somewhere? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
