Does anyone have information on a 3 dimensional art piece by Miquel Berrcol? Outside the fact that he died in 2006 and made these different puzzles? Well, we came across one of these Micro Maria pieces and the antique dealers I went to couldn't put a value on it. Anyone give me an idea what it is worth?

Can someone let me know what you think the first 3 letters of this engraving and the 3rd to the last are? Can anyone identify the font? Country?

Antique Questions Forum / pre 1900 trumpet?

« on: September 15, 2011, 09:15:32 pm »

I have a trumpet from sometime before 1900's. It has F Pinkert. Danzig engraved on the bell. It appears to be from Germany? It was my grandfather's who played in a marching band during WWI. It has a different valve I think it is called rotary. I was told that these have springs mechanisms and usually a watchmaker can repair it? I plays and everything seems to work. I have a few pictures. Would like anyone to give me more information on it and maybe a value?
