Sounds closer to a mellophone bell to me. Conn did make a few with bells
under 12" in diameter. Good way to practice bell-cutting.

subject: [Hornlist] Conn bell
Hey guys/gals,
I am currently in possession of a Conn bell...fairly old by the look of it,
but
in pretty good condition. It's yellow brass, has what looks like an Alex
ring,
and it's stamped "CG. CONN LTD" with "USA" underneath. However, the bell
diameter is only 11 11/16" across and appears to have a medium to small
throat.
Any guesses as to what model of horn it might have once been a part? Did
Conn
ever make a small bore horn of any significance?
Thanks, Charles
