I learned more about Gretsch trumpets from the trumpet guy on allexperts.com Evidently most were imported, like your New Yorker. My Pathfinder is also a likely candidate, due to the tubing config, etc. I find the leadpipe diameter is a factor, being smaller than domestic ones, so I find you need a matched european mouthpiece to tune it properly, which was my problem. I need to find a correct mouthpiece somewhere. I am using a stopgap cornet mouthpiece with tape to increase the size, so it will fit, and that seems to take care of the tuning problem. There doesn't seem to be any records available.
