Vintage Buescher Aristocrat Model 156 - Fabulous Original Pristine Condition!

Description

This is one of the most beautiful Bueschers I have ever seen - more beautiful even than the photos show.
Sounds superb with that smoky ballad sound.
Vintage Buescher Aristocrat Model 156:
Serial # 342229
This must have hardly ever been played.
Original finish is almost like new, with barely a blemish- see photos.  There is one mild surface blemish on the left-hand side of the bell - see last photo.
Physical body is flawless - see photos.
Pads are the original Snap-ins, yet still are supple with much life left!
(Took this to my tech with the intention of getting a complete overhaul, but upon inspection we found that there was no need to repad the horn - pads are old, being the original ones, but the horn sounds superb.)
Neck is near-perfect (new neck cork).
Original mouthpiece.
Original paperwork.
Original case is intact and very good condition with only some minor surface blemishes (though there is some  missing edge-trim that has torn off).
Please write with any questions.
Note on Returns:   Though this listing indicates "No Return," returns are accepted if item doesn't match the listing description, as well as for some other reasons, if mutually agreed upon by you and me!
New Note Regarding Refunds:  Due to new Paypal policy, all refunds will have an amount of 3% to 4% deducted.
Ex. A buyer who returns an item which costs 0.00 will be sent a refund of 0.00 minus .00 - .00.
This applies as soon as payment has been sent, so even if the horn does not get shipped, once Paypal
processes the payment their fees are unrecoverable.   (A fuller explanation of this can be provided on reques
t).
