I brought this home from the property where my '82 Bronco was. It was going to the dump but it seemed to cool to see it get trashed.


Looks like an air horn, probably from a truck.
Looks like a semi tractor airhorn hooked up to a homebrew compressor and solenoid.
Maybe part of a foot actuated wolf whistle?
The devil's own vuvuzela 
(Yeah it's an air horn from a semi or a train)
Cool. Any suggestions on how to get it working?
Test the horn to see if it still works, you can always run it off a new compressor.
I vote truck...it's too small for a train horn.
To the op, when I got my train horn it wouldn't make any noise no matter how mush air pressure I gave it until I took it apart and cleaned it.
Probably an air horn for a semi from the mid 70's.
10-4, good buddy

Carefully place it under a car tire and roll over it a couple of times. Then finish with a sledgehammer; four or five carefully placed blows should make it safe to put power to the compressor.
