old martin horn...need info.

Hello all, I have recently aquired a vintage looking martin horn. I am not sure if it is a trumpet, coronet or flugelhorn. I would like to know first what kind of horn it is, second what year it was made and third approximate worth as I am going to consign it for someone. The serial on the second valve is 8259 and there is a two underneath that. Here are the pictures

Re: old martin horn...need info.

Welcome to the Forum. Your horn looks to be a "S curve" cornet, shepherd's crook style from 1927-28, per serial lists.

Here is some info on Martin, some which is reliable. You can also join up a www.horn-u-copia.net and look thru the Martin material there.

I don't know what it is worth. It is an earlier model before introduction of more valuable models. Ebay is the best determinant. A photo of the other side of the cornet, full length would be helpful. You might do an advanced search on ebay completed sales for Martin cornets.
