I visit a secondhand store today and I saw a trumpetcase with a trumpet in it. Looks like its 100years old and I thougt...wtf...wy not and I paid 40euro
A text on the silver bell says " favourite Elkhorn wiz".
But.....no serial  on the valves stands the numbers 7 8 9
Sound is warm and easy blowing
Was it a good buy?

It's probably worth about 40 euros.
It's probably "Elkhorn WIS" as in Wisconsin. Home of Getzen and Allied Supply (parts and repair) and former home of Holton. Also, likely a stencil made by one of those.
If it plays well, it's worth 40 euros, right?
