...bureau was organized, true figures on a publication's circulation were seldom available. Probably the first attempt to get an impartial audit of a publication's circulation was back in 1847, when the New York Tribune challenged the New York Herald as to which had the larger circulation. The rival publishers finally selected two impartial judges to settle the controversy, and the judges went to work on their audit.

No one is sure just when it was purchased, but it seems clear that some enterprising bandsman picked it up for a mere $100 when it was unintentionally put on an inventory sale. Its mate, made by an English locomotive factory for John Phillip Sousa, is now in a New York music store, definitely not for sale at any price...
