Some instruments, mostly from the 1920's, have either a star ('*') or the letter 'B' stamped near the serial number. Current thinking is that these marks indicate a non-standard alloy, probably only of the bell. The suspicion is that a star indicates a gold brass bell (higher copper content), while a 'B' indicates a 'French brass' bell. None of this is confirmed at the moment (July 2009).

Serial numbers with a 'V' engraved after the serial number are factory seconds.

Data for the years 1967 to March 1974 is rather sketchy, for it was around that period of time that the Conn Brasswinds were being manufactured in Abilene, TX. Instruments made during that period are not likely to be their best examples, as the workers were still relatively new at the manufacturing process. In March of 1974 an alpha-numeric system was established, where the first character (letter) of a serial number indicated the decade; 'G' for the 1970's, 'H' for the 1980's, etc. The second character, also a letter, indicates the month of the year; 'A' for January, 'B' for February, 'C' for March, 'D' for April, 'E' for May, 'F' for June, 'G' for July, 'H' for August, 'I' for September, 'J' for October, 'K' for November, and 'L' for December. The third character (a number) indicates the number of year within the decade (indicated earlier by the first letter). The fourth character (number) indicates the specific type of instrument: '1' = Cornet, '2' = Trumpet, '3' = Alto Horn, '4' = French Horn, '5' = Mellophone, '6' = Valve Trombone, '7' = Slide Trombone, '8' = Baritone Horn & Euphonium, '9' = Tuba, and '10' = Sousaphone.

The remaining four numbers of the serial number indicate the production number of the instrument on a monthly basis.
