Sorry, no overseas sales for this item. Up for sale is a Vintage Pan American Bb/C Trumpet. Used as is condition. Serial #78450 1903 Production. This trumpet was built in Elkhart, IN. This can be played in the Key of Bb or C by removing the main extension slide. Plays great in Bb with the extension and C when removed. The instrument in the Key of C is fair but not as good as the Bb. For the age this is in excellent condition. The satin silver plating shows less than 1% wear. We can’t confirm but with the plating in this condition we believe some shop re-plated this. The inside of bell flare looks like it was gold plated but it has turned cloudy. The valves were nickel plated. They show no wear and have good air compression. Our local University Professor gave it a test ride and his comment was “wow – this plays very good for its age”! Brass construction with satin silver plated body Slides are polished bright silver plated Gold lacquered (cloudy) inside bell flare. 420″ small bore 4.5″ bell diameter Made in Elkhart, IN. This includes a usable SKB case. Two of the bottom feet are pushed in but it’s a solid complete case. This is missing the 3. Slide stop rod rut. All parts look original. Update since being listed We received a message noting our assumption that Conn made this and Pan American distributed this is not correct. This Pan American made model 30B in vintage circa 1929. Pan American had its own serial systems. It is not made by Conn in the way the term implies: Pan American was a relatively independent manufacturing subsidiary of CG Conn Ltd, incorporated in Jul 1919, with its own separate factory opening in Nov 1919. Pan American had its own serial systems, patents, trademarks, brands, models, catalogs, marketing, distribution, etc. Pan American was one of Conn’s. There were others as well. This item is in the category “Musical Instruments & Gear\Brass\Trumpets”. The seller is “1800usaband” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
