Not according to the ads/pictures on-line.  They use a triangular
cast/clamp very similar to the picture.  I'm betting it is a TB3HA
(16' boom) or TB3A (14' boom).

As recall with the Swan, they used steel for boom to mast plates - rust and 
heavy

Mosley, Wilson and Hornet/Swan used a single trap housing for both
the 10 and 15 meter traps.  Wilson (according to the manual for the
System 33 on BAMA) used Hy-Gain style clam shell element to boom mounts.
Moseley have always (at least for 40+ years) used a single U-bolt and
cast saddle for their parasitic elements.

That leaves Swan (Hornet) ... since I can't find a manual for any of
their later antennas I'm guessing that you have a Swan TB3 as it bears
a vague similarity to the earlier Hornet antennas except for the "rug
beater" on the ends of the early Hornet elements.

All,
I'm looking for assistance in identifying a 3 element triband (10, 15 & 20
m) antenna. I have not found any identification or marks on the antenna. I
have included a link to photos of the installed antenna, the unique element
to boom
connecting bracket and one of the traps. I would greatly appreciate any
ideas you may have on the manufacturer and model of this antenna.
Thanks in advance,
Robie AJ4F
