Ca. 1913 King - with the leadpipe going the long way around the valve section - seems odd to me, for H N White.
And with a cool old mouthpiece and bit -

Re: King (?) Helicon, Portland area
I’m sure it is. The ad mentions lead pipe work. I’m sure it’s been altered. The one I had the lead pipe had rotten off. Mine had to be altered too.MattO wrote:Bell engraving says it is a King

Re: King (?) Helicon, Portland area
I am assuming it is only three years apart from my original one and assuming it would be similar. The bugle looks exactly the same as mine but mine had a different main tuning slide.bloke wrote:valves...
OK...sorry...We're just looking at pictures.
Kind of looks like this was changed. Mine had the very curved short lead pipe which was corroded. Similar to what I have seen on vintage York sousaphones and helicons.
