Antique Buescher Straight Soprano Saxophone With Case ~ Very Nice Condition

Description

Here is a beautiful, Original, Antique Buescher Saxophone.  I do not know much about this Instrument, but I will do the best I can to describe it.  Measuring 25 11/16" long from end to end.  The Saxophone is in excellent condition.  Based on my research, the Serial Number "218347" indicates it was manufactured some time in 1914.  And Stamped into the Bell is "License Pat. Date of Dec. 8, 1914."  "The Buescher / Elkhart Ind." is etched into the Front of the Bell.  Everything seems to be in place.  All of the Keys operate smoothly.  The Mother-Of-Pearl Buttons are all in place.  There are no dents, dings, or scratches to the Instrument.  There appears to be no repairs.  The Mouthpiece and Ligature are both clean and damage-free.  The Top of the Piece has some Cork Residue where the Mouthpiece goes, but I did not attempt to clean the Instrument.  The Case appears to be Original, although there are no marking or a badge on the Case.  The Handle is missing, and one Snap Latch is also missing.  The Green Crushed Velvet is all in place, and has wear in all the right places where the Saxophone has rested for the last 100+ years.  This is an awesome, hard to find, Soprano Saxophone in excellent condition.  Please contact me with any questions you might have.
