Serial Numbers – Holton

There are numerous serial numbers lists for Holton instruments on the web today, so the list below I’m not confident on who to attribute this list to. However, if you have a dated receipt of a horn’s serial number, please contact us through the link in the header so we can add more detail to this serial number list.

Production of Jupiter instruments began in 1986. How to Find Serial Numbers on Brass and Woodwind Instruments. On a trumpet, look on either side of the center valve for the serial number.
The company has factories in Taiwan, Japan, and P.R. The age of Jupiter instruments may be determined by adding one to the first digit of the serial number. The resulting number then would represent the year after 1984 that the instrument was manufactured. For example, if the serial number began with a number '4' you would then add '1' to this number and know that.

The development of a serial number list has been very difficult because of the lack of official records. Mr. H. N. White kept very detailed records but when the company was sold to the Seeburg Corporation all official records were destroyed. When looking up the age of your instrument, complete the following steps: (1.) Find your instruments catalog page and year that the catalog was made. Pay special attention to the small details on your instrument because most artists drawings account for unique changes and features. (2.) Compare your findings to the serial number list. Please keep in mind that most catalogs were dated on the back and should be trusted more than the serial number list.

Early instruments will have a 'lion head' by the serial numbers and are engraved 'The King'.
In 1918 the company was incorporated and 'Co' was added to the engraving of all instruments, before 1918 the engraving read simply as 'H. N. White.'
In 1926-1928 H. N. White introduced Sterling Silver bells to his instruments.
In 1948-1950 'Silver Tone' engraving was changed to read 'Silversonic'.
After 1966, all instruments were manufactured in Eastlake and engraved with 'King Musical Instruments.'

1/01/2008 We have reevaluated the serial number list to reflect new information. The number of instruments produced in the early years 1893-1905, has been reduced.

The serial number lists are NOT 100% accurate.
