Just click on a picture to view a very large picture. I have not cleaned this cornet as I do not know what to use that would not harm the surface. Here is what I have been able to read thus far.
The number 17694
1901 (I think)
Elkhart, Indiana
THE
And then there are a series of letters that I just can't read.
I would appreciate anything that you can tell me about this Cornet as it belonged to my Fathers side of the family and they came to America from Germany prior to WW1. Thanks. Mary
