A Conn or two
My first question is in relation to a Conn that has what looks like shooting stars engraved on it. It has two lots of numbers on it the first is quite deeply engraved on the back of the bell is "N 54654" then much smaller, underneath that, is "NE 2100". It also looks like it was made for a left handed player with some of the keys on the bell on the opposite side than usual.
The second question is in relation to another Conn "20M" with the numbers" 4010669 ".
No engraving on the bell other than that. It is in a bit of a bad way, with the finish being bubbled and cracked in some places, and rusted on one side of the bell with no finish left to see, in that spot, or on the opening of the bell on one side also. Apparently it was in the basement of a house that was flooded. The case was ruined and the water was left to start eating away at the instrument itself. It looks like quite a funky sax "except for the sad looking bits".
Can anyone tell me anymore about these two Conn's.
Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Right down to weather the water damaged one is worth rescuing.
Kind regards. Fiona. :)
