i dont know much about conns, but this is what i think is correct. i believe it was made in the early 20's in the american factory(this is years before they outsourced) overall the sound should be really good, however the inotnation will be horrible, and i do not like the old conn keywork, but thats just me(hints why i dont know much about them). go to saxalley.com and email Tim, hes my repairman/salesman, he can tell you what he would sell it for in his shop.
