What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Based on the photographs and information provided, the subject of this appraisal is a French Besson Brevete Trumpet, circa 1940s. The composition is brass. The piece has a serial number of 93439.

Condition of the trumpet based on photographs shows moderate play-wear and lacquer wear, with a considerable dent in the bell and at least one minor dent further up the bell, and sticky valves as described by the owner.

Based on recorded sales of comparable trumpets in similar condition in need of restoration, Fair Market Value is estimated at $100 to $200, as the piece is assumed to be in need of repair for the dents, examination for a possible valve overhaul, and replating and relacquering services.

A high-quality restoration could bring the value to approximately $1,000.
