Buescher Trumpet Serial Number Make Year Calendar
Buescher saxophone's are typically marked with a serial number during the manufacturing process that allows you to identify the year the saxophone was made. Using a computer with a working Internet connection, you can ascertain a Buescher saxophone’s age in just a few minutes and with little effort. BUESCHER TRUMPET/CORNET DATABASE- if you are familiar with the 'OLDS Registry' (which is currently offline) this is a similar concept. I am trying to compile THE most complete list of Buescher Trumpets and Cornets known to man. The database is comprised of Serial Numbers and Model Names / Numbers.

I am missing one digit, is it 6 digit 258xxx, sorry about that. I guess this makes it 1928-29? Does 234 sound like a good model number for that era? I am sorry I don't know how to post pictures or I would throw on one.Thanks,If you have somewhere to host it, just paste the URL into your message; we'll see it.

The serial number would place it's date of manufacture at about 1930, not too long after the Aristocrat was introduced.Below is an admittedly incomplete list of Buescher model numbers that I and some other THers originally put together in 2005.
