Re: Plastic Normandy model 11 ?

Thanks for the information. That narrowed it down a little. So maybe it is from the early 60's. I bought this horn off Ebay and it looks like it was never used. The instrument and case are at about 90%. The register key was broken at some point and silver soldered back together and some of the keys were slightly bent a little. I rebuilt it and fixed the key problems and now it looks like new. There was something wrong with mouthpiece although it did not look damaged. I think it got labeled a lemon as a result of the slight damage and the messed up mouth piece and it was never used. It plays fine now. I would call it a high end plastic horn. It is made better than any plastic horn I have seen as far as the key work goes. They keys are bright nickel plated.

Here is some info I found on it.
