That would have been made in 1919. I`m assuming its an alto, and I would give it at least 500 or 600 bucks. I'm sure that there are people on here who know a lot more about appraising saxes, but that seems pretty reasonable to me. If its in good playing condition, that would be about right, but if it isn`t, it will be worth a bit less. If you do happen to get it appraised by a professional, IM me on spunky2sax75 or e-mail me at [email protected] so I can know if I was at all close. I also might want to look into it, so if you can get some pictures and stuff to send to me that I can check out that would be awesome.

my dad is insistent that it is a soprano he remembers being told that as a child. Does that change the value at all. I will try to get some pictures and get back with you. thanks.

The altos of that era aren't worth a whole heck of a lot.

how do i find out what it is. do i have to take it to someone for them to hear how it sounds?

If it indeed says 'S' by the serial #, that would indicate a soprano.

the "S" is above the serial number and the "L" below it. If it is in excellent condition and plays well, do you have any idea its worth? Thanks. I probably will not sell it but I am just curious.
