Old Conn
Found this on Ebay last night. I asked the seller about a model number and he said there isn't one... I should be an expert for Conn horns that can't be indentified!!!

I can't make out the engraving. As you know, if it was "Conn", and not "Conn Ltd", Chuck never put the receiver markings on his horns. If true, it could be a "pre" model, a custom job that Conn's shop was well known for doing, or even a later frankenhorn that used a Conn bell...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Old Conn Serial #
The seller has listed the serial #:
97889
I haven't looked that one up yet but it might tell someone something.
The horn looks pretty straight- not a beater. I imagine it has its problems but the major 'dent areas' are pretty straight so perhaps the buyer will be lucky enough that the horn has spent 75 or so years in a closet.
Update: I looked this up on the "Conn Loyalist" list ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~cderksen/ )and the serial number translates to 1906-7. There is a list of model numbers and years produced on that same site and I was unable to line up a model produced with that date. This site also said that these early horns did not have a model number stamped on them by the factory. Soooo... Someone with more knowledge and greater searching skills will have to chime in...
