Note the braces between the leadpipe and bell-tail assemblies.
This horn is substantially heavier than Buescher's Model 228 "Lightweight 400" trumpet, a post-War model that was an exact contemporary of this 215.
Note the main tuning slide's configuration, slung down to enter the third valve to the left of the third valve slide; note also the taper in the bell-tail and where it begins to flare out to the bell - compare this to, say, the Model 234 Aristocrat or the 335 Custom Built horns.

The Models 235 is loaded with Buescher's bottom-sprung "pin" valves. The valve has a lug (the "pin") milled into its side at its top. The lug fits into a groove cut into the side of the valve casing.
Note the lacquer. Buescher offered two standard lacquer options; Clear and Gold. This is the Gold lacquer. It is opaque and, as you can see, a bright gold color.
The Clear lacquer was transparent but did have a dark honey-yellow tint.

After World War II Buescher stopped stamping the classic Bell and Triangle True-Tone logo on its instruments.
After the war instruments are stamped with this simpler "Buescher True-Tone" logo. This design had been around in print advertisements and catalogs since the 1930s.
The "LP" stands for "Low Pitch" indicating that the horn is made to play in American concert pitch where concert A=440 Hz.
I'm a little surprised they still bothered stamping that on their horns when this was made, as the low pitch standard had become pretty much universal by 1950.
