Buescher used bottom-sprung "Pin" valves in the Aristocrat and Aristocrat Custom Built horns. The valves have a small metal lug soldered to their tops; the lug - or "pin" - fits into a corresponding guide slot in the valve casings' inner wall.
Buescher usually stamped its horn's model number on the middle valve casing below the serial number, as seen here. Note the "LP" stamped there as well, for "Low Pitch", indicating the horn is made to play in American Concert Pitch where A = 440 Hz.
Note also the pre-War "True-Tone" logo stamped on the middle valve featuring a triangle, bell and tuning fork.
This horn hasn't been relacquered; that's wear from somebody's hand.
Note the nickel-silver bushing between the bell-tail and first valve case.
Here you can see where the main tuning slide assembly enters the third valve on the left side and to the left of the third valve slide, an unusual main slide configuration that Buescher had used on all the new trumpet models it introduced after 1930.
This Broadway unit was missing parts in the unopened parts bag.... so Jeff built some.... Thanks Jeff !

The first Custom Built models were engraved with "Aristocrat Custom Built". After the War Buescher seems to have dropped the "Aristocrat" and simply engraved Custom Built on horns. The sales literature of the '40s and '50s also refers to them as "Custom Built" model horns without reference to the Aristocrat models.
This one's beat and worn, but still pretty. Buescher made them to be visually distinctive.
The case is a typical "clamshell" style wood-framed case of the '30s. This one was made by Buescher and it is original. The green lining is a little unusual; it was an option Buescher offered, but usually Buescher's case lining is purple. Could be that the original owner thought that green would make a nice contrast to the horn's gold lacquer.
Note that the third valve slide finger ring is made of a flat brass ribbon. It's not adjustable; this one has been bent slightly out of shape, possibly on purpose by the previous owner.
I need to measure the bells on the 235 horns and see what the diameter is; not sure if they're any bigger than the Aristocrat of the time (the model 232), which was 4.25" wide. However you can see that the degree of taper in the bell-tail is gradual and doesn't start flaring out to the bell until it gets pretty close to the end.
