This is the engraving on a 1935 Buescher Model 235 "Aristocrat Custom Built" Trumpet.
Note that the engraving reads "Aristocrat" in large letters and "Custom Built" in small letters below.
Buescher's 1935 catalog advertised these horns as "Aristocrat Custom Built" models, the premium versions of the Aristocrat line. After Buescher introduced the 400 horns as its top model, Buescher seems to have started treating the Custom Built horns as a model distinct from the Aristocrat models; post-war Custom Built models were no longer engraved with Aristocrat.

Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.
Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5/50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.
The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back).
Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is VERY WELL machined.
It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

For the sixth year in a row I created a Christmas Lego exhibition for the mall Moldetorget, in down town Molde. This is the third year that we placed it in the window of Norway's oldest photo store, Birkeland Foto AS.
This year I created a Christmas market. You can see a Xmas tree seller, a toy maker, a woman selling food and decorative items and a Pizzeria/Bakery. At the end of the street is a church.
90% of what you see is custom built by me, but there are some models from Lego as well.
Oh, and I also included a lot of film, comics, TV and nerdy references. Can you spot them?

Reynolds 531SL suffered from flexy seat and chainstays..the chainstays also had flats instead of indentations that tended to crack at times. The chainstays on this frame are actually Ishiwata 22mm round track blades, suitably indented...emmensely strong and rigid.
Note the distinctive finger hook configuration Buescher had used on its trumpets and cornets since the middle 1930s. Usually they've gotten bent out of shape; this one's perfect.
Note the valve buttons. They are of a smaller diameter than the wide, flat French-style buttons that were becoming popular after the War and that Buescher had started installing on it's Model 228 Lightweight 400 trumpet.
The valve buttons on this horn and the Model 205 Aristocrat aren't too much different from those found on all of Buescher's brass instruments of the 1930s; they are certainly more conventional that the tiny convex valve buttons Buescher used on its Model 225 and 275 "400" trumpet and cornet.
