Pan American Brass Serial Numbers, rev.1 These are the serial numbers for Pan American brass: cup mouthpiece instruments. This includes cornets, trumpets, alto horns, French horns, mellophones, tenor horns, valve and slide trombones, baritones, euphoniums, basses and sousaphones.
- In 1963, serial number 1,000,000 was celebrated, although since Pan-Americans used a separate sequence and some instruments such as bugles and drums were not numbered, it was well beyond the one millionth instrument built.
- Conn Pan-American trumpets and cornets were student level instruments and a much less expensive line of the Conn brand. These aren't really collectible instruments because of this so most value would be obtained from playing condition.
Up for consideration is this vintage, 1928, Pan American trumpet. I think it is a model 30B and can be switched between concert Bb and A; the “A” tuning slide is seized. It is in good condition overall but does have general wear on the normal areas. The silver plating has some loss and light scratching, but is mostly complete. The first, second, third, and main tuning slides are free and lubricated. The valves work great and are very responsive, but do have plating loss. Regardless of that, the horns compression is very good. The serial numbers match on the pistons. Although nothing major, there are a few dings on the bell. It doesn’t appear to have had any major trauma or previous repair work. The second slide has dents. Though playable as-is, it could use some general maintenance to bring it up to its fullest potential. It has been cleaned with a mild soap/ water/ brushing. Included is a vintage case that is functional, but not in great shape. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Rays Midbell Music Mission.
