White silver plated alto saxophone was made in the early 20’s according to its serial number (#797XX) and is in good structural condition. All of the keys move freely and we see no signs of any mechanical problems with this instrument. It does look like the lyre holder on the neck receiver has been resoldered at some point, but otherwise this horn shows no signs of any previous significant damage or repair. This horn has been polished and lacquered sometime in the past, so the dark spots on the body are where the lacquer has deteriorated and the silver plating has tarnished. These dark spots should polish up nicely, and are not an indication of any problems with the silver plating. The pads are old and we recommend that this saxophone be repadded to be put into good, playable condition. This saxophone would be an excellent candidate for restoration. The original case shows minor signs of interior and exterior wear, but it’s generally in very good condition. The handle, latches and hinges all work as they should. All reasonable offers considered.
