THIS LISTING IS FOR THE VINTAGE C.G. CONN HORN WITH CASE SHOWN. I ALWAYS LIKE TO ID THINGS LIKE THIS SO I KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT BUT I CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT THIS IS FOR SURE WITH THE VALVES PLACE SETTING, THE WAY THE TUBES ARE LOCATED, AND BEING A 4 VALVE UNIT. IT'S 27 1/2" LONG AND AS FOR CONDITION YOUR LOOKING IT AS I FOUND IT IN THE CASE AND IT'S IN VERY NICE CONDITION FOR THE AGE SHOWING ONLY ABOUT 3 SMALL DENTS. I HAD TO ENHANCE THE PHOTO'S WHICH ARE MAKING IT HAVE A GREENISH TENT BUT ...THIS IS JUST CAMERA FLASH. NO DENTS TO THE BELL AND THE VALVES ALL WORK UP AND DOWN NICELY. NOT SURE HOW MANY SLIDES SHOULD MOVE BUT TWO DO MOVE EASY. THE SERIAL NUMBER AS PER CONN SHOWS IT TO BE FROM THE LATE 1800'S AND SINCE I DON'T PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE BUT I SEE NO REASON IT SHOULD NOT PLAY AS NEEDED. WITHOUT QUESTION THE NICEST VINTAGE HORN I HAVE EVER OFFERED SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS IN 2003. IT JUST BASICALLY IS IN NEED OF BEING POLISHED OR WHAT EVER YOU DO TO THESE TO MAKE THEM SHINE AGAIN. THE CASE LATCHES FINE BUT DOES SHOW SOME WEAR TO THE BELL ENDS ON BOTH SIDES.(NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:) IF YOU DO NOT SEE A SHIPPING QUOTE THIS ITEM IS PROBABLY TO LARGE TO SHIP TO YOUR COUNTRY !!THIS WILL SELL WITH NO RESERVE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL OWN IT...HOPEFULLY THE PICTURES WILL SHOW IT FOR YOU NICELY BUT EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS AND I'LL HELP ALL I CAN FOR YOU. COMBINED SHIPPING IF POSSIBLE IS ALWAYS WELCOME HERE NO MATTER WHAT DAY THE AUCTION ENDS ON..SHIPPING IS FROM 43055 AND THERE ARE A FEW SHIPPING OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM. THANKS !!!!!......MITCH
