   I have a Champion Silver Piston, Chicago that looks very similar to this horn. There is also Ditson New Century Helicon on Horn-u-Copia that looks exactly like my horn (except my finish is like your pepper). I think that the Ditson and my Champion (Lyon and Healy) might actually be re-badged Pepper horns. Though I am not sure if these Pepper’s were imported or built in Philadelphia.

     Thank you for your comment. It could be a badged instrument as you described.
