Please share any information you may have. It's in the forum under vintage trumpets / cornets and titeled 'Cavalier Serial Numbers' So I have decided to do a study on to see where it could go.

Additionally Cavalier seems to have a later start date. However, I could not make sense using the Pan Ameican accepted listing owing to the leading zero (0) on many of the horns I have seen or have. There is alot of speculation, including the accepted Pan American list dating as being aprapo. To date I have captured 15 trombone examples.I think I have a tiger by the tail or maybe tale, but I am trying to understand and maybe establish the basis for the Cavalier line by Conn - that is develop a Cavalier serial number dating system much like that developed by Christine at the Conn Loyalist. 21) Pan American Trombones don't seem to follow the rest of the Pan American brass numbering system. The leading '0' may have stopped at 5999 for Cavalier trombones, C) Cavalier horns and their stencils follow the cavalier mu,bering system D) Cavalier trombone serial numbers may or may not follow the rest of the brass line at least as it relates to when the leading '0' stopped.

20) What I believe based on what I have seen: A) the leading '0' probably stopped around the number 20000 for cornets and trumpets. 19) Owing to the lack of ability to confirm all the serial numbers by picture, I do not have a statitically large enough sample to draw conclusions yet. 18) The Continental Colonial is one that seems to follow the Pan American line and serial number system. 17) Stencil models that seem to be similar to Cavalier, because of serial number proximity and design, but may be of another manufacture including Pan American are: Velvetone, Knickerbocker and Champion.
