Hi, I thought this might be a good place to find out about this Besson trumpet prototype I got from my Grandfather. I checked the serial number and according to my research it was made between 1890 and 1900. I was told he payed a whopping $900 for it in 1920.

I don't know anything about trumpets and I was hoping to find out what it is worth and possibly sell it. It is in good condition and was overhauled in 1987.
I have several different mouthpieces, mutes and accessories.

You can see pictures attached in my response post below...
