![]() Which I interpret to mean "now that we've lost our lucrative gov't contract we've got to get serious about musical instruments again!!" In any case, that catalog must be from between '56 - '59. I decided to just clean it up, take the dents out, align the valves, and call. Look at page 5 of the '59 catalog with the old script - nice little summary of what Buescher had been up to during the war years - and noting that its government altimeter contract ran out in '56. Anyway, if both those catalogs are from '59, they up and changed everything all at once and had to print new catalogs. So maybe that price list was an insert and didn't belong. There's a price list effective 1959 at the end, but it includes models - like the S-33 - that aren't in that catalog. ![]() I don't see a copyright date in the other. That catalog has a copyright date of '59 at the front. But in the other '59 catalog with the new Buescher script - the full catalog, not the price pamphlet - Elkhart is dropped and the S-33 etc. It's using the old-style Buescher script, and includes the Elkhart line. The last one before the '60 catalog seems off I think it's from earlier. Incidentally, I was looking at the Buescher literature up on the site there are three that are supposed to be from '59. Whether the Elkhart trumpet was based on older Buescher tooling, I don't know. They did similar things with the brass for instance the Elkhart 36B trumpet became the T-36B Aristocrat trumpet.
