What's "vintage"?

uatrmpt · 06-14-2006, 10:49 PM

Let's go with horns that aren't made anymore, pre-Elkhart Bach's, early Schilke's, etc.

Here is my Great Grandfather's Besson Cornet. Originally built in England over 100 years ago and then went back for the first time in 2005 for some work by Leigh McKinney of Eclipse Trumpets.

I hope this works... I suck at these sorts of things. Well the horn above is a Large bore 239 Mt. Vernon C trumpet that was a preliminary to the CSO's set. It apparently might even have the same 25 leadpipe as Chicagos, although I dont know that for sure. The horn below is also a L-239 Mt. Vernon C, and is was made in 1957, so a little later than the other one. I'll post more pics later

Hi,

Vintage is whatever you want it to be, so post away!

Here are a couple of same year Boston 3-Star "Ne Plus Ultra" cornets of mine. They are listed as 1911 or 1913 models, depending on source. Both are in original finish . . . restored by Rich Ita:

I'm performing on the lower one, which is my "player," in my avitar.

Hey, Tom
I'll let these photos of my baby be my FIRST post on this site. It's a Henry Lehnert, Philadelphia, Bb cornet. Circa 1870, made of "German silver", with "Allen" type pinched side-action rotary valves. Henry Lehnert was one of the premier American makers in the late 19th century, and held the U.S. patent for the tapered cornet leadpipe.

Beautiful "sidewinder," Dale!

It's great to have you posting here. Welcome aboard!!!

Warmest regards,

Tom

PS: Do you have any photos of your OTS horns?

I LOVE VINTAGE BRASS EYE CANDY!

Tom, for you, the doors to the candy store are swung wide open! Here's a tasty selection: The first, an impressive display of rotary valve bell-front cornets, both Eb and Bb, dating from 1860 to 1870 (the silver Eb @ top left is a Boston). Next we have three over-the-shoulder Saxhorns: an anon. brass Eb (possibly a Stratton or Zoebisch), a brass Stratton Bb, and a German silver Klemm & Bros. Bb, all top-action rotary valves, from 1860 or earlier.
