Does anyone know anything about these cornets? I have done the thread search, and also checked out a couple of search engines, but the pickin's are kind of slim!

CO Posted: Tue Jun 01, 2004 6:16 pm Post subject: Many of the Wurlitzer Cornets were made as stencils by Conn for Wurlitzer around the beginning of the 20th century (1900). Conn and Pan American made several models for Wurlitzer. The Wurlitzer Lyric was made by Conn in the late 1800 and early 1900. It was made with a.459 bore. If that serial number is Conn's serial number and not Wurlitzer's then that horn was manufactured in 1879.

I didn't think anyone had an answer to my question.

I have seen some pictures of the cornet and it is in remakable shape. I know my friend will be happy to get some info about it.

I referenced the wrong serial number list the first time.
