How can I make sure that my Hosaphone(tm) is an official one and not some shop-class knock-off?
In order for your Hosaphone(tm) to be an official Hosaphone(tm) it needs to have the HosaLabel(tm) affixed to the bell. You can obtain your HosaLabel(tm) for FREE by going to the Hosaphone(tm) Online Registration System at http://hosaphone.com/hors where your very own personalized HosaLabel(tm) will be generated with it’s own UHID. Museum curators should be aware that any Hosaphone(tm) with an assembly date of 1976 are collector’s items.
