We have available for auction this vintage John Heald Brass Trumpet. Serial number #61406, 19.5" long without the mouthpiece, and is a 1920's circa model. The stamping on the brass reads; John Heald Co. - Makers - Springfield, Mass. - American Premier Model - Pat. Mar.25, 84., Aug.13, 89. & Feb.28, 99. The Trumpet looks fair in condition, a nice finish, especially for its age, it does have numerous minor blemishes, one good dent on the bell and a leak on the tubing adjacent to the forward valve. The keys all push and recoil but not really tested in any way. It is a Classic, but it is also an antique in need of some repair and attention, so please bid accordingly. I personally know very little about the instrument, but will be glad to answer any questions.
