Thanks Jim. I appreciate you taking a look and weighing-in.

I did.

Thanks for following-up, WMcD - Starting to get optimistic over here based on your observations/insight coupled with the 1963 price list. The photo of the Klipschorn Style "D" Decorator's Model found on the bottom of page one looks amazingly similar. Reading fine print on the very bottom left of the page, it clearly states "Exotic woods and finishes on bid (submit sample for estimate) is helping as well. There is an encyclopedia-sized plywood inspection / access cover on the speaker's base cabinet right hand side where I imagine a woofer can be found. It hasn't been removed - probably since it was originally installed so I can't help you there. As far as provenance - I can't tell you much other than it has been sitting in in dry storage for a very long time. I've been given the opportunity to purchase this single speaker "as-is where-is". It's not cheap and I can't test it for obvious reasons. I know nothing more which is why I'm reaching out to this forum. I was really hoping that someone could tell me if it was indeed a Klipsch product and whether there was even a remote possibility of finding a mate. It's been an orphan too long. Finally yes. My Grandmother used to call me that when I got on her nerves - fairly often, many moons ago. Kind regards.

Good morning, WMcD, Thank you for your thoughtful response. This is indeed a digital photo taken by yours truly - this week. The dignified gentleman (?) is my dad :). The enclosure is a combination of solid walnut and plywood in non-visible areas. The pie-shaped horn top just rests on the enclosure base. The crossover is obviously out of the cabinet - just resting on the top for a photo op. There used to be speaker cloth covering the horn area. I would have added additional photos in my first post but I hit the site limit of 2MB. So the the good news is there is room for two more in this reponse. Hope these help. Thanks again.

Hi Jim, I'm hoping you can tell me about this corner speaker - specifically if it is indeed an early Klipschorn. Other than some handwritten figures on the crossover unit, I can find no manufacturer's identification. It does appear to be dated 1952. It looks very similar to a few of the early corner Klipschorns seen in your museum videos (very well done btw) but I didn't see an exact match to this specimen. Any info about this speaker would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
