Description :

A stunning King Silvertone cornet crafted by The H.N. White Company of Cleveland, Ohio in 1941, just before the firm shifted production toward WWII military equipment. This rare model features a sterling‑silver bell with intricate Art Deco engraving, paired with a brass valve section for balanced tone and projection. The medium‑bore design delivers exceptional versatility—warm, resonant lows and bright, responsive highs. Serial #251687 confirms late‑1941 manufacture. Includes the original velvet‑lined King hardcase, preserving its legacy as one of the finest American brass instruments of its era.

Appraised value a couple years ago was over $2000.


Dimensions : 16.75 in L
