Vintage Bells, Horns, Whistles (Red Lib)

Assortment of old car horns.

These are high-quality copies of Hollywood original optical and mag effects from the 1930s through the '60s, transferred to full-track tape by USC Cinema. I have digitized them for preservation, but they have not all been restored and may have some noise.
