We have here a somewhat rare horn from the mid-1950's (The serial number is 235340, which places it around 1956.) This horn was made with bright silver plating, although there is substantial pitting visible as we as evidence of repairs. The valves look questionable, but I can't tell how much is due to wear. The pitting on the overall plating and the appearance of the valves look like some outside influence (atmospheric?? submersion??).
The buy-it-now price is $1,400 and the B&H models are fairly rare in the USA (most here are Bessons). This is an auction and the starting bid is currently $900.
New valve photos added. The valves look much better than I thought they would, assuming the stuff on the 3rd valve is surface corrosion and will come off with a little work.
THIS SOLD FOR $900 - WOW!
