5/29/2020 Buescher Trombone Serial Numbers
Any model number? Is there an F rotor? It's really hard to answer your question without more information. What makes you say it's a 'vintage' horn other than the fact that it's old?Being able to get a sound out of it really isn't a good determining factor. I can get a sound out of a paper towel roll tube. Doesn't mean much.

Adams Musical Instruments, Concert percussion, slagwerk, schlagzeug, are the choice of world-class soloists, orchestras, composers, and educators alike because the craftsmanship, sound quality, and technical innovations are the highest quality specifications in the world making them truly world-class instruments. It only makes perfect sense then that soloists such as Robert Van Sice, Evelyn. The online serial number list I found is only for saxophones. I just picked up a Buescher Sousa that is a copy of a Conn 14K. Plays well, cleaned it out from sitting in an attic for 20 years, might have been a public school horn many moons ago. I think the serial number is 18576 or something very close to that.

What's the condition of the slide? Is there any wear on the chrome inner slide plating?How far do you have to tilt the slide before it drops?How much of the laquer is intact?What is the diameter of the bell?Without this information, I'd have to stay on the safe side, assume you got a old student trombone that most likely needs a chemical cleaning and a slide job, and say you could get about a hundred bucks for it. But your answers to the questions could change that significantly. No model no., unless '97' is a model. I'm sure it's more student than vintage, but there is some etching on it, the Elkart Logo, and knowing vintage saxes, etching always means something. The inner slide plating appears in good shape.
The original lacquer covers about 75% of it. Of the bell is 7'. As for sound, I meant as a novice, even I can play a scale somewhat in tune. I don't mind selling it for $100 or so, but if it were worth a whole lot more, I'd rather it go to someone who knows trombones.

On the slide the 128 is where normally the serial number is located, on the bell it’s where the bell model on later model can be found.
According to this website Model 4 was introduced in 1935 and according to the serial number chart 1935 correspond to serial 400 while serial 128 would more correspond to 1929/30. Does anyone has more information?Kind regards, Dirk.
