OFFERED HERE RARE RARE FOR COLLECTORS ! OR PLAYERS OR BOTH
NOTE A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS AN EXPERT SAID THIS IS EVEN RARER THAN WHAT
I THOUGHT WAS THE FIRST GENERATION REVELATION !
SO I CHECKED IT OUT AND AM EDITING MY AD NOW !
ONE OF THE LEADING EXPERTS ON HOLTONS HE SAID ABOUT MY FIRST AD:
Your listing is wrong. That is not a first generation Revelation -
those did not have reversed construction leadpipes.
What you have is
far more interesting.
It is a "24 patent"
or second generation Revelation
produced ahead of the January 1922 start for that model. It is a pre-production horn made to test readiness for full scale production just like the run they did of the original 1920 Revelations in October/November of 1919.
SN 72732 YR 1921 FIXED 3RD SLIDE THROW AND DUMP SLIDE DUMP ON END OF 3RD SLIDE.
THIS AN AMAZING FIND !
1 COMPRESSION GREAT. NO PLAY WHEN VALVES PUT HALF WAY DOWN. TIGHT.
AIR TEST: I TOOK EACH SLIDE OFF AND BLOCKED THE CORRESPONDING SLIDE OPENING ON THE TRUMPET FEMALE
SLIDE OPENING.  THERE WAS NO AIR ESCAPING AT ALL ON A HARD BLOW.
2 I HAND POLISHED ORIGINAL SILVER PLATE VERY NICE A BIT OF WEAR ON BACK CROOK. BUT OVER ALL VERY VERY SWEET. THE LOGO WAS BURNISHED SILVER.
3 CLEANED OUT ALL SLIDES , TRUMPET BODY , LEAD PIPE , CLEANED VALVE PORTS.
4 ALIGHNED
5 THIS IS UNUSUAL BECAUSE IT HAS A FIXED 3RD SLIDE THROW WITH A DUMP SLIDE AT THE END.  LATER REVELATIONS HAD TO HAVE FINGER HOOK SECURED BY HOLDER WITH SCREW. THE 3RD SLIDE IS VERY SMOOTH !
6 CASE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE BUT IS A LATER COLLEGIATE CASE BUT THE TRUMPET FITS WELL
7 TRUMPET 20 INCHES LONG , BORE 460 , BELL 4 1/2 INCHES , ONE PIECE BELL , Z BRACE
8 TOP MOUNT QUICK CHANGE TO A
9 THERE WAS A SMALL CREASE ON BELL MY TECH OF OVER 50 YEARS
TOOK IT OUT SO YOU CAN HARDLY NOTICE IT !!
10 GOLD BELL WASH PRETTY MUCH INTACT A BIT OF WEAR I DID NOT POLISH IT HARD THERE.
11 TWO BRACES PRO JOB FORMER REPAIRS ON BRACES FROM VALVE 1 AND 3 CASINGS TO BELL SECTION
( also see my business site vintagesaxandbrass for more info pics )
I tried to the best of my ability to describe item !!!!
Overall this is a real piece of history.  Please serious bidders only.  I tried to
the very best of my ability to describe honestly the condition of this item.
I strive to be top seller and wish to remain that way.
My standing is important to
me.  So please look carefully at the pics and if you need to ask me anything
do !
Thanx.  I also have several other rare and classic trumpets and cornets and saxes
to sell.
Some very
interesting Conns and other brands.  From the era 1900-to early1960's when they built 'em
like tanks !!
SEE MY RECORD and other items I am a straight shooter !
