That would be the serial number which can be used to date the instrument. Your Boosey and Hawkes trumpet was made around 1964 according to that serial number.
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.
Best estimates would put your trumpet manufacture date in the range February 1964 to February 1965.
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1958-1959.
Between 1959-1960
The serial number does not tell us which trumpet this is only it's year of manufacture which I guess to be around 1967. Conn made varying qualities of trumpet which were built to different specifications and prices. Some have value in the vintage market and some do not.Some of the trumpets they made are:Conn 14B Director36B28B22BVictor Coprion bellAnd that's just a few.use the link to identify the model you have and resubmit a new question.
You would put the engine serial number under "Equipment Serial Number"
I would like to know how I can be sure that the bell and the slide are the original combination. I bought an old Bach 12. Engraved in the slide is 3623 Model 12. The Bell says New York 67. The colour of the Bell and the outer slide differs a bit (the slide has a red nuance). I am very happy with this instrument, but I would like to know about this. :-)
$1800.00 --- I would have to say that that valuation is way too high. I have just purchased a collectors item Olds Mendez serial number 86xxx from Ebay, which was manufactured in 1952 and is in reasonable used condition with original laquer for $800. The serial number 308xxx would have been manufactured around 1958 to 1964 after the factory moved from LA. Your Mendez appears on the Olds register and is dated 1959.
Would need serial number to answer or go to proofhouse.com with serial number and look it up.
There's no way to tell you how much your trumpet is worth without seeing it in person... The value of a trumpet doesn't just depend on what brand it is. It depends on age, condition, playability, among other things. If you contact a reputable instrument repair shop in your area, they can likely either tell you how much it would be worth, or give you a rough estimate.
Date of manufacture approx 1972/3. Selmer Bundy is the name given by Selmer to what was originally the Bach 1001 (one of which I still play, having bought it new in the early 1970s). ML is not part of the serial number but denotes that the instrument has a medium large bore.
