This listing is for an Antique J. York & Sons Engraved Silver Trumpet Grand Rapids MI Vtg. The Closures are intact & appear to work. It has a lovely bit of engraving work. The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won’t have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor. It is in good condition, with no major damage. Has some minor denting & wear to the plate as is usual. The only thing I see that would stop it from working are two very small perforations in one small tubing area. Looks easy to patch or replace. Thank you for your consideration, I appreciate your time. Reasonable offers always appreciated. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements.
York & Sons Grand Rapids MI. With Original Case & Accessories. Includes: 2 mouth pieces – one from York & Sons, the other by Clarke; 2 trumpet mutes; music sheet holder; 1 rod that I don’t know what it’s for, and the original key to the case. This trumpet belonged to my father who was born in 1911 and played it in high school so I would put the age of this around the early to mid 1920s. Hasn’t been played in many years. Is tarnished – needs cleaning. The case has a musty smell but still has the straps to hold down the trumpet & some accessories. Closures are intact & work. Please view the photos as they are part of the description. Please contact me should you need additional photos.
