I imagine that few people at the River City Classics show had seen this vehicle before... I was fortunate to see it about two years ago at a truck stop near Red Deer - photos here (three of them) - at the time I got the impression that the owner didn't care much for showing it off...
Note the small diameter of the crook in the bell-tail, and the nickel-silver bushing between the bell-tail and first valve.
This is this horn's original Buescher-made case. Notice that's its different from the Buescher case for the 1935 Model 235 Trumpet, which is in the old formed wood "clam-shell" style with green velvet lining inside.
By the time this horn was made Buescher had started providing a new kind of case, what it called a "Gladstone" style case lined with purple plush material.
Something else that had changed by the time this horn was made was that Buescher had introduced the "Duo-Cup" mouthpieces and had started shipping them as stock equipment with its Custom Built models. You can see the original Duo-Cup 88-D mouthpiece here in the case.
The stand is a Hamilton Stand, and it's probably original, too. Buescher listed them as an accessory option in it's catalog.
Carpe diem! Brand new standing clock with rust finish. The clock face features a small planet picture of a man basking in the sun holding a sun reflector under his face. Clock diameter ca. 9'', total height ca. 30''. Uses this image. See all other pictures possible in this model.
Built from reclaimed marble, recovered by reuse action (reuseaction.com) from a lavatory renovation in one of the Buffalo Public Schools. It was a stall partition, so a close inspection shows who loved who, and all sorts of school age nonsense scratched into the marble. We cut it down to size for the customer and left the markings in the marble as part of its charm. The legs, undercarriage and mounting brackets are all made of reclaimed house trim. The marble installed originally in the 1920s, most likely by Italian immigrant craftsmen. In this city the old wood work was done by Poles and Germans, while the stone work was done by the Italians. crafts they brought from their home countries. Without rescuing this material it (and its heritage) would be in the landfill.
Each piece we build is unique and imbued with history...and keeping materials out of landfills.
The engraving on the Custom Built horns of the 1930s is a little fancier and more extensive than on the base-line Aristocrats of the time, though they share the same Art-Deco design in the pattern.
Note that the horn is engraved "Aristocrat Custom Built". Buescher's subsequent Custom Built models would not be engraved with "Aristocrat"; only "Custom Built".
Note also the thick, grooved flat brass ribbon used on the third-valve finger ring.
Toronto, Canada. **Sir Henry Pellatt was the first individual to install a custombuilt bathroom shower stall that pumped hot water all the way to their luxury mansion from the boiler room that was a few blocks away.
The Model 235 and it's wider-wrapped contemporary, the Model 237 Aristocrat Custom Built, were set up with this kind of receiver.
It is unlike the receiver found on any other Buescher trumpet or cornet of that time; Buescher never used anything like it until one of the last redesigns of the Aristocrat trumpet, the Model T120 of the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Note the brace between the bell-tail and mouthpipe assembly - the foot of the brace it soldered directly to the side of the receiver.

these are some very twisty, old beech beams from a WNY barn. They were cut in the late 1800s and may have been a few hundred years old when the trees were cut. these monsters are extremely heavy, very naily, twisty, covered in whitewash...but if one looks deeper there is beautiful wood.
Admittedly this can be a difficult task, especially with my shop equipment, which is at the edge of what it can do. But old barn woods can produce spectacular results. It's never clear wood, but knotty and spalted, with nail holes and checks and marks from its past use in agriculture. I personally like a cleaner look (as oppossed to the full on rustic look) but with hints of its reused nature in the imperfections and the dramatic grains.
I'm a champion of the imperfection in all areas of life and old wood is part of that. I love the fact that I'm reusing this national treasure....the primeval old-growth forests, hopefully in pieces that will be heirlooms. Each piece is unique. Each piece of wood has its own personality. Each piece behaves differently...sometimes difficultly....but in the end each person's carpentry project is a one-of-kind piece, just like all of us.
These will be a side table for a customer...after I wrestle them through cycles of joining, sawing and planing.
