Lyon & Healy

Hello.
Just wondering if anyone had any information on a "Lyon & Healy Own Make Improved Chicago" key change trumpet?

It was given to me as a gift long ago and I kinda re-found it when I moved. I thought the rotary valve was quite unique but I'm finding out that it really isn't.

Looks good but doesn't sound so great. Valves are a little slow and I'm sure well overdo for a makeover.

Anyway....any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

Sorry I don't have any info on the trumpet but I know Lyon and Healy is a big harp company still alive in Chicago.
