The Marching Men were still frequently used for labels, case tags, and other printed materials until the early 2000s. Henkin sold Conn in 1985, UMI greatly simplified the bell engravings, changing the format to a large model number and 'by CONN' underneath it in small lettering. I have seen one 6B or 8B Victor from 1978.ġ985-present - ' / by CONN' & similar letteringĪfter Daniel J. The Swiss, Willson-made Conn 24A flügelhorn bell engraving had the double-struck 'CONN' lettering with the small floral piece below it. Similar to the lettering of CONNstellation bells and modern Conn Vintage One bells, the lettering was along the length of the bell in this format: 'C. USA' or 'CONN / USA' and similar lettering on bell side Note that this is, to date, the last instance the Marching Men were used on a brasswind bell (when UMI absorbed Conn in 1985, the 18A was discontinued and the Marching Men were only used on printed ads/boxes/case tags until 2003, but the 20H was apparently being shipped with 18H bells by the 1990s).ġ971-1985 - 'C. Below the trapezoid, the word 'Director' was added in a unique font, with 'C. The Marching Men were kept in the same trapezoid as the 'semi-floral' pattern, but the 'floral' part was removed. The 18A cornet originally used the 'semi-floral' bell engraving, but eventually it became one of Daniel J. ġ981-1990s - No Pattern with Simplified Marching Men in trapezoid/'Director' on bell Below 'CONN', there was a floral piece and 'U. The new 16A utilized a new bell design, with a 'semi-floral' pattern above a new Marching Men layout: the Marching Men were simplified, and they were inside a simple trapezoid. The Marching Men retained the 'detail' they had from older bells: facial details, uniform buttons, etc., plus, they were inside the 'arch' from older designs.ġ976-1981 - Semi-Floral/'Floral Crown' Pattern with Simplified Marching Men in trapezoid A.' of older bells, since the 19A/21A were Japanese-made. Great slide with no wear & smooth, quite valve action also.Note that the bell patterns here applied to cornets, trumpets, and trombones, although I use the cornet model number for convenience.ġ971 - Shooting Stars with Detailed Marching Men in archĮarly on, the 19A/21A recycled the old 'shooting stars' engraving from the earlier 15A/17A Directors, minus the 'U.
