I have Missenharter / Coleman Cornet #11036. Photo attached.
It has been in a large collection / accumulation of instruments owned by my father for many years.
I will send additional photos shortly.
The instrument is not in bad condition, although there is a crack near the bottom of the shepherd's crook, and several solder repairs on the bell.
The valve fit is near perfect, just slightly sticky. I doubt that it was played very much.
All that I have is the instrument as pictured.
Do you have information on the lengths of tuning bits supplied with this cornet?
I have some loose cornet bits and may be able to match some that would work.
Were all the bits straight, or did they use any loop bitsÂ
