1911 Besson Prototype Cornet GIBSON GIRL Carl Fischer Engraved w/ Case & Papers in Farmington, Michigan

$150

SUPER RARE find for the collector!!  Besson Prototype cornet made as a Limited Edition for the Carl Fischer Music Store.  The serial number is 94251 which dates this to 1911.  The original receipt and Besson guarantee are included and both have corresponding serial numbers on them.  This is just gorgeous with an engraved design all over it. Just wow!

Please note that I have made no attempt to clean or polish this, as I know preferences as to patina and age varies from collector to collector.  As to the playability, I apologize but I would not have any idea how to test this.  I am a finder of beautiful things, and not so much a musician.  ;-)    The mother-of-pearl topped keys move up and down.. the center one is a bit sticky though, although it still moves quite freely.  Other than that, I really don't know what to check, but I am always happy to answer questions.  Comes with a mute, a Frank Holton brass mouthpiece and a Vincent Back #7 mouthpiece.  As well as some other items that were in the case.  The Carl Fischer case is also included (show wear in the interior).  Please see all photos, and feel free to reach out with any questions at all, or for specific photos.
