Vintage Cornet with Ab crook

Vintage Cornet with Ab crook

This Vintage Cornet with Ab crook is hard to date. It has no makers name & no serial number. It also has top sprung valves. Does anyone out there know when top sprung valves were first intoduced? That could help to date it. Plays OK but all slides are stuck. Please note this cornet is on display at Trevor’s home so please let us know if you want to view it.
