I just this moment a Christmas present a complete unused set of Trumpet Ware, in it's original packaging. The box has a date stamped on it, 10/8/63. Manufactured by Trump plastics inc. Cayuga Falls, Ohio.
They were made by my dad's company Trump Plastics in Cuyahoga Falls, Oh. The company burned down in 1967 and was re-established after the fire again in Cuyahoga Falls. The firm failed in the economic crunch / oil embargo of the early 1970's.
The pieces you have were made between about 1958 and 1972. They were sold by the millions to SS Kresge (I think a division of Kmart) and to Kmart and Woolworth. You can still find them in old church halls and the like. They were designed by my dad to be durable and withstand (the new invention at the time) the diswasher...Dishwashers melted many plastics back then.
I would gladly purchase them from you as we have non in our family and I would like a nostalgia piece.
Earlier versions of trumpets, which were more like a bugle, were the earliest brass instruments. though the earliest trumpets were not brass, they were made from the horn of an animal, such as a ram or goat.
The first trumpets were just rams horns back in caveman times.

The trumpet is only a tuning and amplifier for what goes on at your lips. To make a twenty year old trumpet sound better you have to apply quality sound to it.
A serial number is needed to determine the age of a Bach Stradivarius trumpet.

8 years old
A Selmer trumpet with a serial number of 43417 was made in 1950, so as of 2013 it is 63 years old. All Selmer trumpets have a serial number and there is a chart that shows what year the trumpet was made.

I think the value of your trumpet depends more on the model of your trumpet, how old it is and of there's any dents or if any part of your trumpet docent work.

In another book I read, an ear trumpet means something that old people that are losing their hearing use to hear better.
