| Interesting horn. I dont see a piston horn from the fifties in the model lists.
Christine at the Conn Loyalist and she said that she has seen a couple of these and believes that the military in th 1950s ordered some 2Ds made for their use, in spite of the fact that the 2D had been discontinued in the 1920s.

This one is a curiosity.
According to the seller, "I am sure about the serial number and there is no letter. I have seen other Conns with six digit numbers starting with 4 that I am fairly certain are from the early 80s. It says 5I on the bell and it takes a small shank mouthpiece."
The Conn Loyalist does not list a 5I.

Seller says the valves and casing are the same as Blessings Super Artist, and that Emil Blessing became famous for his skilled buildling of precision valves and casings. Many manufacturers would buy his parts.
OLDLOU: I just bought from another collector, a York Master Model trumpet in near mint condition. This is a very rare artist grade horn with a 4 7/8" rose brass bell, embellished with an inch wide nickel silver Krantz ring. From the serial # I found this horn to be of 1946 manufacture. A measurement of the second valve crook inner tubing shows the bore to be quite large,.462". The main tuning slide has a micrometer adjustment, just like that of King ,Reynolds,etc. This is a very fine horn and the palyability seems to justify the hype that York gave it in its day.
