I have an antique trombone by Hawkes bros.
It’s a Caberet and I would like to know what it’s worth
Thanks

If it's in playable condition, you might get $350 for it. If it's pre-1920 and smaller than say .480 bore, with no bell nut or slide lock and if the slide has soldered on stockings, it might be hard to sell. If it's not a player and it's not collectible, you might have trouble selling it at all except maybe to Applebee's or similar.

Pictures of the bell engraving, end of inner slides, case, serial number, damage, etc would be helpful.
