4338	Trumpet	Silvertone	Artist	36xxx	1943	Bb/A
Made by Blessing Blessing was contracted by Sears and Roebuck to sell the Artist model in their catalog as the Silvertone Artist, and is identical to the Blessing Artist except for the engraving. The 1942 catalog was the first to list the Silvertone Artist. Shortly afert this horn was made, Sears was sued by H. N. White - over the name "Silvertone". Sears who continued to sell the trumpet into the 1950s called simply Artist. Bore .454

3772	Cornet	Lyon & Healy	Own Make	556	1901	Bb/A
Patented August 1898, made in 1901

3761	Trumpet	Buescher	No 5 Epoch	14930	1911	Bb/A
Patented in Mich. in 1919 Pryorphone: The No. 5 trumpet has the Epoch system. In addition to the high 2nd valve slide, you can also see that the bell tubing exits from the 2nd valve on the other side. I assigned it to 1911 based on Lars Kirmsers serial number chart from the number given. I have no idea idea of any Buescher patent in 1919. The Epoch valve system was 1901, "Multi-Pitch Tuning" was 1906, and the "Split-No-Tone Bell", which was on their trumpets and cornets into the 20s was 1907, so I have no idea where the 1919 date comes from.

3028	Cornet	Gretsch	American			Bb/A
Engraved: Gretsch American Model Bb/A (possibly C/Bb/A) mouthpipe stamped Czechoslovakia. 15 ½ in long. stuka: The American Model that Kenton posted is indeed a C/Bb/A horn. I just picked one up on eBay reconditioned to near-mint. [img]http://www.horn-u-copia.net/Docs/Gretsch-cornet.jpg[/img] The picture shows the horn in the "Bb" configuration. The picture Kenton posted shows the horn configured to "C". The two parallel slides are identical and each of the four fixed pipes are the same diameter and the same distance apart, center-to-center, both in the "horizontal" (though it is more of a 45-degree angle off-horizontal) and in the vertical plane. To change from Bb to C, both slides are pulled, and put back in so that they are parallel on a horizontal (roughly) plane rather than side-by-side and parallel in the vertical plane. As you can see in Kentons picture, the upper loop is closed and serves to store the extra slide while in the "C" configuration, so that one does not have to keep track of whether one has stored the slide in the case, or placed it somewhere else to be forgotten and lost. Pulling the slides out further allows one to play in A as well. The first and third tuning slide are marked with lines that are designated "Bb" and "A" as well. Interestingly enough, the third valve slide is the same pipe diameter and center-to-center distance as, and can be switched with, one of the twin slides, and with all the slides out full, the horn plays in "G", in tune, almost as if it were designed to do so. I have a friend who has a Getzen Eterna Severensen model trumpet who played this horn today and says it plays better than his horn, and the valves are faster and lighter. I have got a Super Deluxe Tone Balanced Getzen cornet whose valves feel much heavier than this horns valves as well. The instrument itself is very light in weight. Very sweet singing cornet tone, can comfortably be played very quietly as well. The restoration is near-perfect, it seems almost impossible that this horn is over 80 years old. The silver finish is not glossy, it has a sort-of-textured "matte".
