Question
on bell=lyon & healy makers Chicago USA #201690
did l&h gold-plate any of these horns?
thanks for info----rw
L&H would put gold highlights and gold wash on bells, but at least according to my 1894 catalog they didn't offer any fully gold plated instruments. They brought out their 'flagship' the Own Make model in 1896, and it would seem that if they had any goldplated offerings it would be in that model. But, to date I have not seen any Own Makes that were gold plated.

Expertise
Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
