Reserve set at $299...

For Your Consideration... VERY RARE... 1895-96

This is a ~VINTAGE~ CG CONN CORNET in its original 1895-96 case with engravings on the bell that say...

MADE BY
CG CONN
ELKHART, IND
WORCESTER, MASS

On the #2 Valve, it says...

0
33140

PAT. JUNE
15.1886

Also included inside the case are...

• LIBERATI Model - Mouthpiece (engraved "LIBERATI MODEL" on the piece itself)
• 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).
  

The reserve is set at $299...

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.
