Authentic ANTIQUE 1894 Cornet with engraved markings:
F Jaubert & Cie PARIS
Lyon & Healy CHICAGO (Sole Agents)
Leber & Bro. Pittsburg, PA
This instrument was kept in an attic for at least 40 years and belonged to an elderly friend’s grandfather. According to my research, it is likely a model from 1894. I’ve included pictures of the history of Jaubert & Cie and Lyon & Healy companies. It’s in amazingly great condition for such an old instrument. As a former trumpet player, I did successfully play it. It works - just needs shined up a bit (or left in the antique condition it’s in) - no noticeable dents or damage.
Includes case(very worn), extra valve and music holder. -see pictures
Perfect addition to any Antique Brass Musical Instrument Collection
