Serial Numbers Once in a while the serial number of a jukebox, wallbox, speaker or other accessory becomes important: It can be helpful to identify the year of production, gives an idea of the output figures, different versions of a model, or helps to find out about the correct schematic, etc.
Take a look at the great condition of this vintage Wurlitzer 'Lyric' trumpet (or cornet, I don't for sure which it is) that I just found in a local estate. I am NOT an expert on musical instruments, but I have seen and sold enough of them to tell you this seems like an excellent instrument, very well made, solid and BEAUTIFUL in my opinion. I also don't know the actual age, but I'm guessing (only guessing) it is at least 60 years old or more.It has a silver finish, but I have no idea if it is silver plated, chrome, nickel plated, or what. Please note I have NOT polished it up (I never do that, always leaving that decision to the new owner) and it still looks GREAT!
The horn is engraved 'Lyric Wurlitzer U.S.A.' The serial number is '145' - at least I guess that is the serial number that appears on the middle valve - see photos - and I don't find any other number on it that would seem to be a serial number.
Overall length with the mouthpiece inserted is about 17.25 inches. All three valves work smoothly and all of the slides came out easily (the smallest one on the side came out too easily, I think, so it might need some adjusting, but it does stay in place under normal handling). I find no breaks in the welds. There are some light dings and the horn has a light bend or two, but nothing too bad in my opinion - see photos (and there are a few other light dings here and there that I didn't get photos of, but again, just typical type dings commensurate with the age of the instrument). It includes the case shown, but I don't imagine it is original to the horn (it has an 'Ambassador' emblem on it). The case is a bit worn, soilied and damaged, and the automatic springs in the clasps don't work (but the clasps do work), and the purple interior has some smell to it, but overall the case is still serviceable.
THIS SURE SEEMS LIKE A NICE AND HIGH QUALITY TRUMPET, SO DON'T MISS OUT! All photos are of the actual item(s) I'm selling (except for stock photos shown from eBay's catalog that may appear in some sales). IF YOU LIVE IN KANSAS, PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE (I have to collect sales tax). If you don't live in Kansas, you can go ahead and pay or wait for my invoice, whichever you want. In most cases I will send you an invoice within an hour of the time the sale ends. By bidding on this sale you agree to the following terms and conditions: SHIPPING IN GENERAL (Domestic and International): I will send you an invoice via the eBay check-out system. You are responsible for all shipping charges (see the 'Shipping Calculator').
NOTE: BECAUSE SELLERS NOW HAVE TO ENTER SHIPPING CHARGES AS PART OF THE SALE PER EBAY RULES, I DO MY BEST TO ESTIMATE SHIPPING FOR USE IN THE POSTAGE CALCULATOR EVEN THOUGH THE ITEM IS NOT YET ACTUALLY PACKAGED UP. SO, IF AFTER YOU GET THE PACKAGE YOU FIND THE POSTAGE WAS ESTIMATED TOO HIGH PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING: For shipments within the US I will probably get you a quote for Priority Mail and Parcel Select (and/or First Class or Media Mail if applicable), but let me know if you prefer some other type of shipping and I will do my best. 
LOCAL PICKUP in Topeka, KS, is always available at no extra cost.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: On international orders I will probably quote First Class Mail and/or Priority Mail (keeping in mind First Class cannot be used if the weight is over 4 pounds or it exceeds certain size limits). Because of eBay's changes telling sellers they have to take PayPal, on International orders I also ALWAYS reserve the right to REQUIRE an item to be sent by Priority Mail so that I can purchase indemnity to cover myself on higher ticket items (that is because you can't insure International First Class and of course PayPal won't confirm international accounts). HANDLING CHARGES: The cost of mailing materials keeps going up, and I package things well (see my feedback). So, to cover some of these every-increasing costs, and as eBay allows in its rules, I must n.
