Just acquired this trumpet today and can't find anything about it online.
A note inside dated 1984 is from Gramps giving the horn to his grandson. He says it was purchased in 1927 for $100. There is also a photo postcard from 1928 of a band on a float in a parade, that I'm assuming Gramps was a part of.
The case is brown alligator, with a lock and fancy key that both work.
The number on it is 108102 - don't know if that's patent or serial - from my research, if it's serial then it doesn't fit with Gramps' recollection of the purchase in 1927 - and couldn't be in the 1928 picture.
So, any opinions on age? Model name? etc?
