Antique Questions Forum / Musical Instrument . Cornet . very old

« on: June 01, 2007, 11:32:19 am »

Just click on a picture to view a very large picture.   I have not cleaned this cornet as I do not know what to use that would not harm the surface.  Here is what I have been able to read thus far.

The number 17694

1901 (I think)

Elkhart, Indiana

THE

And then there are a series of letters that I just can't read. 

I would appreciate anything that you can tell me about this Cornet as it belonged to my Fathers side of the family and they came to America from Germany prior to WW1.  Thanks.  Mary

Antique Questions Forum / Can you help me identify this

I puchased this wall hanger at a yard sale many years ago because I fell in love with it.  Now I'm wanting to know more.  Here is some pictures and hopefull, you can identify it for me.  On the back it says, "made in italy". Thanks.
