Hi-
SOLD
I am helping a friend out West sell horns.

For sale is a Hall & Quinby Boston 3 string rotary valve brass Eb Helicon. Everything works and it is quite a player.No case. What is really neat is it has a musician's name and date engraved ....Frank G. Severance, July 4, 1873!, All that has been found is Frank is buried in Glouster, MA.

He was 33 when the horn was given to him. A wonderful detective project for a collector to find out what band he played in, was he a Civil War vet, etc.
