I recently purchased a set of four Lyon & Healy herald trumpets that appear to be from about 1900. The bells are all engraved with a floral pattern and the company logo, along with the words:
Al Kader
-Temple-Shrine-Band
Portland Oregon

Each bell is a little bit different, which leads me to believe that they are hand engraved. The serial numbers are 8667, 8668, 8669, and 8671. The case seems to be plywood(?) covered with cloth or paper, and is about the size of a tenor sax case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Andrew.
