I’m interested in researching the history of a King cornet, #269582. Any suggestions?

Also look up H.N. White's website for King instruments. Pretty extensive and really fun reading. I had a friend send me an old totally blacked out cornet about 4-5 years ago and I located the year of production and stuff. I enjoyed it because I grew up in Ohio and King was a big name when I started playing. Have fun.

1945-1946. Well, that took about four seconds.
Which King cornet are you asking about?
