Really cool! My Dad played the trumpet in the Navy during WWII (and in the basement in his later years.)  You looked darned good in 1929, Blaine!  iz
     Thanks, Iz, I hope you are just pulling my leg, because the trumpet is older than me by almost ten years. :>)  The photo was taken in 2004.
     I play it all the time, much to the consternation of my neighbors.  I know why your dad played his in his basement. 
     It belonged to my daddy-in-law.  I inherited it since I was the only one in the family who could play it.  It actually has real gold leaf on the bell, something I never see of late.  I have thought of advertising it on e-bay, but Dorothy tells me if it goes, she goes with it, so I may have to think about that one :>)
