Offered is an exceptionally rare Imperial Harley Royce Makers Toronto silver-plated cornet, serial number 699. Harley Royce instruments were produced in Toronto, Canada, and are seldom encountered today. After researching this maker, I have found very few surviving examples and virtually none currently available for sale, making this a remarkable opportunity for collectors of antique Canadian brass instruments. This cornet features its original “Imperial” bell engraving with the Trade Mark Registered crown logo, beautiful hand-engraved floral artwork, and the original Harley Royce maker’s badge on the valve section. The silver-plated finish has developed an attractive vintage patina that reflects its age and history. Please review photos and ask and questions.
