My guess is also that it’s a 22B. There are other Conn trumpets from that era that look the same and have different bore sizes, but the 22B is far more common than the others. I’ve had 3 of them, two from the ‘20s like that one, and one from the ‘60s. The ‘25 was my favorite, but was really ugly. The ‘29 was very pretty, but didn’t play quite as well, and the ‘68 was raw brass and was a much brighter trumpet. If you’re interested in it, $100 isn’t too much of a risk to take.

Poor old Bob Pixley. Reaching for those grapes that were too high. I notice a “Banned banner” next to someone’s name now, though, and Bob’s not coming back either.

That’s a sad situation all the way around.
