Information on Martin trumpet?

My dad is looking at a Martin horn he found in an elementary school library (it's decoration). Because of the situation, the owner (librarian, I'm assuming) probably doesn't know ANYTHING about it, and we haven't talked to her. SO, no information but what I've gathered from the horn itself.

OK, so here's the deal. I can't read the model specifically. It's a Martin, and I think the model starts with and "H". The serial number is 091370. Does that mean it was made in 1970? I'm so clueless it's embarrassing. It's silver (VERY dirty), and seems rather smallish for a trumpet (the bell is smaller than mine, anyway). It's heavyweight, I think (again, all this is comparing to my Bach student model).

Anybody know ANYTHING about this kind of trumpet?

I really appreciate assistance to my ignorance.
