I'm not sure if anyone here can help me, but I wanted to give it a shot. I just joined up and figured this would be the best place to ask this question. 
Growing up we had a horn my grandfather had had and I have NO idea what it is. I think i very vaguely recall him calling it a German Train Horn, but I can't find ANY information online or any pictures that look like it or even REMOTELY like what it is. I'd really love to get some information together about it just because it's so odd and I know my dad would LOVE to know more about what it is, where it came from and the like.
As a rough description it has a round mouth piece (no plunger style mouth piece, just a tube that comes down to a small hole you wrap your mouth around and blow), a single button to control the pitch of the noise and then it came down to a metal band and opened up into four different bells.

Kind of like above, but they were aligned with two on top, two on the bottom and all extended out at the exact same point rather then like the picture where the bottom two extend out longer. That's why I think it's likely an old train horn.
Any help, websites, forums or suggestions would mean the world. I can't really get my hands on the horn since my dad loves it and won't let it out of his sight. Apparently it was really important to my Grandfather (I never met him, he passed away when I was tiny) and its really important to him. I'm hoping I can get some really solid information together for his birthday to surprise him.
