Buescher Soprano Saxophone
I'm the second owner.  It was made in the early 1920s and bought new by a neighbor of my grandfather.  I took ownership in the early 1960s and had it professionally renewed.  I didn't play it much.  Note the photo of the pads.
The mouthpiece is, I believe, a cut down clarinet mouthpiece.  It's probably a Martin.  At least that's the name on the ligature.
It's the original case.  The hinges, latches, etc are in good shape.  It has no handle.  It was gone when I bought it.  So was most of the leatherette wrap.  It seemed to me a good idea to peel it all away, give the wood a bit of a sanding, followed by a couple of coats of varnish.  One end of the case needs additional work.  Again, the photos tell much of the tale.  The innards of the case are quite nice.
