Who is the real maker?

To me the valve wrap looks like Conn, but Conn from Cleveland puzzles me.

That is a Conn (ferrules, braces, etc.), regardless of what's engraved on the bell.

Also, I don't see "Cleveland" on the bell.

The C is under the first N of Continental. You can see AND to the right.

I might be mistaken, but that word appears to be "COLONIAL", not "CLEVELAND".

Your reading makes sense.

A bit odd that the seller, who has access to the instrument, lists it under Continental Cleveland.

Even the braces are located in the same places.

I agree - and he can see what's written on the bell better than we can....

(IIRC, these horns are usually closer to being in D than E flat......)

Continental Cleveland
