Are these stock?

Spotted these at a junkyard and forgive my ignorance as I usually see the 71-72 stuff and not much of the earlier stuff, but I spotted these horns on a 68. Are they original or some aftermarket add on?

Forgot to snap a picture of the SPID, but I didn't see any special horn option on there.

Re: Are these stock?

Honestly, if I had tools to get it off, I would have picked it up. I was looking at it trying to figure out if it would be louder, high note, low note or even worked.

So is it aftermarket or off another car? Worth $20?

I bet it is a 6volt horn and louder than anything then you could imagine well worth the bet of 20 that it works

I have one I bought from tee it up. There from the 70's, called big diesel horn?, mine no longer has the decal. Basic high and low trumpet style. You can still find them on epay.

Re: Are these stock?

I ended up buying it. Only paid $10. At fist it didn't work, but PB blaster prevailed. I'm letting it soak and I'm thinking it will work on my standard relay by tomorrow.

And if anyone is curious its a "Piggy-Back Diesel Auto Horn" made by Jubilee No. 68.

Looks like something you'd find in a JC Whitney catalog....back when they still had a print catalog.
