I remember my father having a horn when I was a very little kid. I did start out with a red flag. I think we then went to a flag with one half red and one half white before we went to yellow.

The NFL got rid of the starter pistol sometime in the 80's. One of the chain crew guys would hold it and then slip it to the line judge shortly before the half or end of the game.
