I did the research on this one myself, so if I got anything wrong, all you knowledge bases out there please correct me!


This is a Frank Holton "Revelation" trombone, complete with original limited-release mouthpieces. Serial number is 86xxx, circa late 1920s-early 1930s. Outer slide shows signs of dings and repairs. Inner slide worn near stocking taper, especially the lower stocking. Overall scratches, dents and general wear as commonly seen on vintage instruments. "L.P." engraved on bell and slide, indicating Lower Pitch.

The "Holton Personal" model, a "Dixie" cup with a unique shape and engraving around the base,
and the "Miller Model", featuring a V-cup and a gorgeous dark lacquer.
