A presentation instrument.
Engraved bell garland with a patriotic eagle with shield. Inside the shield in tiny letters is stamped I. Fiske, Maker.
Gold plaque on bell reads "Presented to C. Rubsam, by the Newark (NJ) Brass Band, September 1, 1853." Christopher Rubsam, born in Thuringia, Prussia (Germany) was a grocer by trade and was the leader of Rubasm&squo;s Newark Brass Band from 1844-1868. Rubsam&squo;s Brass Band played for Abraham Lincoln when he visited Newark, NJ on 20 February 1860 on his way to be sworn in as President of the United States. It is certainly possible that Rubsam performed on this very instrument for Abraham Lincoln.

| Horhnman: There is a photo of the famous cornetist Matthew Arbuckle holding the same type of Fiske cornet as shown in the lowermost photo, on page 18 of Clyde Nobles 1964 treatise "The Psychology of Cornet and Trumpet Playing" (Mountain Press Publishing). Arbuckle was cornet soloist and drum major of Fiskes Cornet Band before he was lured away by Patrick S. Gilmore.
