KRELL1960

I have a very old (not sure how old yet) Wurlitzer Cornet, came with a Mt vernon mouthpiece, ornately engraved in rough shape. does play however, No dents in the bell, stuck slides, a few dings in the slides, it has a very nice tone quality. Are these horns sought after? i'm not selling it, but was wondering if it would be worth restoring.

thanks

It's hard to say without knowing it's pedigree and seeing some photos. Go to Horn-u-copia and scroll down to the Wurlitzer line. There is a history of the firm and 3 pages of photos and description of many cornets. Maybe one like yours is there. Wurlitzer sold cornets made in many places, Germany, Bohemia, USA (Conn, YorK), maybe Cinncinati also.
