Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great example of a "Clarion Bugle", which is a larger bugle, usually pitched in C. These are quite impressive. Almost certainly a Veteran's Bring Back, this measures 20" overall with the bell of the horn being 5 3/4" across.
The bugle still retains its full leather wrap, cord wrap, and two hanging knots which originally were in the French Red, White and Blue National colors, which have now somewhat faded. In addition part of the horn has a solid red wrap which we have concluded is a RED part of the French Flag, cut for this purpose. There is some heavy denting as shown.
The bell is nicely marked with the Maker's name:-
Jérôme
Thibouville-Lamy
68bis Rue Reaumur

Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy & Cie, abbreviated as "J.T.L.", was a French musical instrument making company, formed in the mid 19th century from the merger of pre-existing makers. It was based in Mirecourt, France, and was active producing large numbers of woodwind, brass and stringed instruments until the mid 20th century. The company also made large numbers of mechanical organs and organettes between 1880 and 1910. Some of these models were made with license of the Gavioli company.
The mouthpiece is not very tight to the bugle but still displays well. A great example, ready for further research and display.
