Going to see the horn this week. It is silver, serial # dates it to c. 1887, Conn Worcester Eb 3 top, 1 side pistons.
Here it is:

Anybody have a similar horn? Doing some research on this.

That's a double rare beast you have there! Worcester was a short run and 3+1 wasn't a common offering/purchase then.
