C.G. Conn’s flagship professional cornet, the Conqueror, serial #109438, dating to approximately 1908. Silver plated with stunning full bell and body engraving, mother-of-pearl valve buttons, and the elegant long-model profile that made Conn’s pre-WWI instruments legendary.

Condition:

• All three valves move freely and function well

• All slides pull freely

• Horn plays – confirmed functional

• Original Conn mouthpiece included

• Small dings and dents consistent with 120+ years of life

• Silver plate shows patina and tarnish throughout

The Union MFB/PRU labor union stamp on the valves is a period mark seen on Conn instruments from this era. Full engraving, MOP buttons, original mouthpiece and case make this a complete, untouched survivor that actually plays. A rare find for collectors or the adventurous vintage player.
