I love puzzles / riddles, including trying to identify trumpets.

I can't find any Internet mention of a Rosetone trumpet by any maker.
But I keep in mind that I often cannot find any Internet mention of other models, too, such as the Holton trumpets and cornets that were made in France in the 1960's. But we know they exist because they occasionally appear for sale on eBay.

Any chance that you could post photos of the Rosetone?
It would be fun to compare its features with the Conn and Holton instruments that were also made back then.
