Conn Brass Serial Numbers (Old Version)

This is the original Conn Brass Serial number list. The old version. For the current Conn Brass Serial Number list, see: Current Conn Brass Serial Number List

This page contains a list of Conn serial numbers for brass instruments. That includes cornets, trumpets, horns, trombones, euphoniums and basses. This list is not correct for Conn saxophones (see Conn Woodwind Serial Numbers) or Conn bugles (see Pan American Brass Serial Numbers).

A few remarks
I corrected the error in serial numbers of 1951 and 1952 (serial 1952 is shown to be lower than 1951; not likely) by switching them around.

Some instruments, mostly from the 1920's, have either a star ("*") or the letter "B" stamped near the serial number. Current thinking is that these marks indicate a non-standard alloy, probably only of the bell. The suspicion is that a star indicates a gold brass bell (higher copper content), while a "B" indicates a "French brass" bell. None of this is confirmed at the moment (July 2009). Serial numbers with a "V" engraved after the serial number are factory seconds.
