Re: Gretsch American Junior

I would say '20's from the general appearance, , maybe teens or 30's. Is the wrap narrower than normal trumpet? Can't tell from your hand size. If so, could be a "peashooter". If you could, I am sure Kenton, the Horn-u-copia moderator would be glad to post photos of the Junior in the Trumpet thread of Gretsch. Of course , reverse the photos You can get his addy from the "members" button. He needs to post them. Don't know why they had a Junior cornet and trumpet line.
