yes and no. Partly because replacement bells aren't serialized by the factory, but if you have a bell with no serial number AND the engraving on the bell garland has a bunch of filigree on both sides of the word "Mirafone" AND the back caps for the rotors have little adjuster screws in them, AND the outer slide tubes are "not" nickel silver but just plain brass then you probably have a really old horn ....
how to describe it? "pre-'60" I guess
