Each valve is numbered by a small manufacturer’s engraving; valve 2 is manufacturer engraved with serial number 867749. The Holton company logo engraving is featured midway on the bell, forming a circle, which reads: [HOLTON / U.S.A.]. The letters [MF] are engraved on the proper left side of the trumpet. There is a light blue polishing cloth in one corner of the case.
