Burt,
The only thing I know about the Revere company is that I have an
old white plastic mouthpiece which says "Revere" on it. I had thought that
it was an American company until your message. Isn't there some Museum of
Industry or some such organization which could help you locate this
company? How about a trade associaton of musical instrument makers? I'll
bet if you can get hold of some old publicatons which deal with band
instruments you'll find ads for Revere instruments. It'll take some
legwork and ingenuity but I'll bet there is information out there on this
company. Finally, contacting contacting the British Embessy for help
contacting their chamber of commerce in this question?
