Tom, for you, the doors to the candy store are swung wide open! Here's a tasty selection: The first, an impressive display of rotary valve bell-front cornets, both Eb and Bb, dating from 1860 to 1870 (the silver Eb @ top left is a Boston). Next we have three over-the-shoulder Saxhorns: an anon. brass Eb (possibly a Stratton or Zoebisch), a brass Stratton Bb, and a German silver Klemm & Bros. Bb, all top-action rotary valves, from 1860 or earlier.
