I picked this up with an olds ambassador years ago and played it for a while.
It has a thick sound and hits the high notes quite well. No bite at all and a double cup, sort of.
All that is written on it is Emo and 3.
I recently tried it out for the first time in a a while and it is kind of interesting. I might have to have it fixed up and silver plated.

I did some Googling:

"Emo WORLD was the tradename used by Ernst Modl, Hullers son in law. Modl continued the factory after the WWII in Nauheim under his own trade name "Emo" until 1972."

And here is a link to a post about an Emo trumpet:

That is the most info I have seen yet on this company. I guess maybe in Germany they are better known.
Some one still sells their mutes.

"After WWII, Ernst Modl re-opened F.X. Hüller the company in Neustadt /Aisch and change the name to EMO (from his name Ernst MOdl). This company was closed after his death in 1972."

Thanks so much Morris. Very interesting, I want to try one of their horns now. They sound very playable and if they are anything like the mouthpiece I have they have some cool features.
