-
LEVY Model - Mouthpiece (engraved "LEVY MODEL" on the piece itself)
-
Mute with original cork (engraved "C.G. CONN" - cannot make out additional engraving)

Extra slide piece with additional spit valve - I believe the two pieces switch from "Bb" to "A"

"The Rifle Rangers" March sheet music for 1 st & 2nd Trombones in EXCELLENT condition for its age (see pictures).

I believe the interchangeable pipes provides for tuning between Bb and A. I have been told this is a "WONDER" model and is semi-rare. It was the favorite of Herbert L. Clarke. This cornet has NOT been restored or cleaned as we would leave that to the "professionals." It has been stored in a dry, SMOKE-FREE location. The case is in original condition and has not been restored. If you would like addition pictures or have other questions, please let me know.
