The serial number would indicate this instrument is from approx. 1904-1905   The bell also has the following inscriptions: J.W.C.I.N.Y. 22 - Could this be a reference to J.W.C. York and Company.?

Founded in Chicago when Frank Holton opened a small instrument shop in 1898, The Frank Holton & Co. grew to one of the most influential instrument manufacturers in the first half of the twentieth century in the US.  Today, the Holton brand of instruments are still manufactured in Elkhorn, WI where Frank Holton moved the company in the Spring of 1918.

This Holton Loyalist site is dedicated to those horns, and the continuing history of Holton instruments.
