Is this a Carl Horner Cabinet?

I've had them before and it's more like a printed photo glued to a thick backing. I also had no idea what they were.

Thanks Barry,

I believe I use to have a Walsh. Never could find much info on it.

I've had 2-3 of these over the years and the photos are called Horner because, in most cases, they match the photos on the W600's, many of which were taken by Carl Horner. I've only seen 8-10 different ones from this set. Slightly smaller than a W600 with the photo affixed. Closer to a T5 than a W600. Still a neat and very difficult to find set.

It's a legitimate item from the period stated in the auction. It has a mechanical print, not a photographic print, on a cardboard mount, and is comparable to a W600. They go for good money and are scarce. They are commonly nicknamed Horner Cabinets as they use his images. There's no doubt they were originally sold commercially, perhaps as premiums.

Here's one.

I dont have my book, but I believe they are listed in the SCD Catalog under "Anonymous"

Ive owned 3-4 of them, but none now.

PS they are printed pictures on a heavy paper mount, not a real photograph

Interesting. I stand corrected. If Horner took the pictures and Horner stuck them on the mount, then they are correctly called Horner cabinets!
