Vintage Stowasser Bruder Champion Trumpet in very good condition.
Silver finish. Vintage Champion model trumpet by Stowasser Bruder made in Graslitz Czech Republic. Very Good condition with some minor dents and scratches (see photos); slide pull knob missing on second valve slide. All slides move freely; valve action good. Majority of gorgeous original silver plate finish present. Plays nicely and seems to have good compression. Twenty and one half inches in length. Very good condition leather and wood case with working locks and two keys. Plush lining in good condition. Two mouthpieces (presumably original) in fair condition; dings, plating wear, and the shorter one was obviously removed by the use of pliers at some point as it has telltale marks. Stowasser family members were instrument makers in Graslitz from the time it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century until the communists took over after WWII. The trumpet has no serial numbers, but looks to date from perhaps the 1930s or 40s.
