Help With Antique Horn
Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:58 am
My in-laws have a family heirloom but I'm having trouble finding any information about it online. It's just the bell of a trombone that has this engraved on it:

It's smaller than a typical tenor bell and it doesn't have any mechanism to lock the bell into the slide. This makes me think of a sackbut but it has a tuning slide and a flared bell. All I actually know about it is that my mother-in-law's uncle supposedly marched with it in the FSU Marching Chiefs, so sometime between 1947 and 1960 (he died in the 60's).
If anyone knows anything about the manufacturer or the horn let me know!
