Jerome Callet´s List Of

SERIAL NUMBERS AND DATES OF MANUFACTURE


"In the 13 years Callet Trumpets have been in business, Approximately 5,000 Callet trumpets have been produced and sold".

"In all the years that Vincent Bach made trumpets starting in 1924 and ending with the sale of his company to Selmer in 1961, he said he only produced 5,000 trumpets even though the serial numbers when Selmer took over were in the 19,000 range"
