Subject: Trumpet

Question
I have a Trumpet that my mother bought in 1950 - 1953, it said on the bell "custom built, atWurlitzer, Exclusively.  It has a serial number of 173121.  I am having it restored to playing condition.  Can you possibly tell me the company that may have made the Trumpet for Wurlitzer, and the year that it was made ?  

Thanks,
Joe

Answer
Joe,

I'm assuming this horn is a lot older than the 1950's.  Wurlitzer imported horns for a while and eventually had horns made by Conn.  The Conn models that were made for Wurlitzer included:  14B, 15B, 42B, 43B, and 68B.

There are no Wurlitzer serial number lists.
