The value depends on the age and condition.
A serial number is needed to determine the age of a Bach Stradivarius trumpet.
As with most major manufacturers, new Bach Stradivarius trumpets retail anywhere from hundreds of dollars to several thousands of dollars. The value of a used trumpet will depend on many things, including the trumpet model, its age, and general condition. None of this can be estimated based on a serial number.
The Bach Stradivarius line of trumpet models is generally considered their top trumpet.
Depends, Bach Stradivarius trumpets first started in 1925 and they are still being made. The best (and many times only) way to find out the year is to check the serial number.
Bach trumpets, in general, will be good trumpets. The Omega is sometimes considered an "intermediate" level trumpet, providing a stepping stone between a beginner horn and a Stradivarius professional trumpet. Basically, the Omega model will be a good trumpet for an advanced student who is ready to "move on" from their first trumpet, but may not be willing to spend the money for a professional quality trumpet.

Between 1981 and 1983.
Definitely the Bach. I play trumpet and the Stradivarius is my favorite. What the real question is: what bore? I like the .38 because it has a more lively sound and is light and bouncy. If you are thinking of buying one, definitely look at both the King Flair and the Stradivarius.
This question really can't be answered without seeing the trumpet in person. A trumpet's value depends on its condition and playability. Your best bet would be to have it appraised. Depending on the age of the trumpet, it could be worth anywhere from $500-$1,500, but there is no way to tell without seeing it. Also, you would need to know what kind of Bach trumpet. If it's a Stradivarius, it will be worth more than a student model.
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1975-1980.
There are several excellent trumpet manufacturers, but I am rather partial to the Bach family of trumpets. If you're looking for a professional level trumpet, I recommend their Stradivarius line.
Quote: "The Bach Stradivarius 18037 Lacquer Professional Bb Trumpet is the preferred instrument of most professional players. The Bach Strad trumpet's standard weight body and bell, and standard construction #25 mouthpipe bring depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and response to this instrument. The 18037 Strad Bb Trumpet is one of the most popular of all Bach trumpets for good all-around playing." from: http://www.bizrate.com/orchestral-instruments/bach-180-37-stradivarius-bb-trumpet--pid590421863/
