Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured after 1983.
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1925-1926.
1980-1981 ML refers to Medium Large bore size .460
This trumpet was only from the 60's or 70's. It's a simple trumpet and they made many. If in good condition, maybe $100.
I am trying to find out the same thing for mine. S/N: 25594 I know that Bundy wasn't purchased by Selmer until 1961 according to Selmer Elkhart, IN. Selmer doesn't have any records of their old serial numbers. Adams website doesn't help as it puts the S/N back in 1916 as this is way to old to be correct.
Bundy is Selmer's student line. A used one is typically worth around $100.
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.
Probably $20 on ebay. Or you could just make a lamp out of it.
Bundy is a student line of instruments from Selmer. They're fine for school use and the casual player who doesn't want to spend much.
eBay, with craiglist a far second.
In reality, it's worth as much as anyone is prepared to pay for it.That in turn depends on the:AgeRepairQualityRarityBundy Selmer trumpets are not on the hot collectables list like King, Martin , Olds.Ebay has an option to check previous sales of items for value, its one of the advanced filter options. Use that to gain an idea of the current prices.
You can't know that without a professional looking at it. The same oboe make and serial number could be worth 200$ or 3000$. It depends on how well it's been kept.
