| Re: Old Couesnon Lafayette Trumpet
In addition to what Lou has said, you can check on ebay advanced search for completed listings and search for completed sales to get info on values. They turn up there every so often. Maybe that is where you are looking at one? You can also go to Horn-u-copia site and scroll to the Couesnon thread under Manufacturers, and on page 2 there are some pictures of Layfayette trumpets. On page one there is a very interesting treatise on Cousenon history to the present day.
