King Super 20 Alto Sax

Hi, my name is Chad. I am from Houma, LA. I recently purchased a storage unit which held a King Super 20 Alto Sax, The H.N. White Co., Serial # 423xxx. which appears to be in the original case. I took it to a local instrument repairman. He told me that in his 25 years making repairs he had never seen one. Plenty of Tenors, but never an Alto. I am trying to find an accurate evaluation before I let it go, but need to find a buyer soon. Bad lighting in the pictures, but it is silver all over, including inside the bell. I took it to a music store first, and they told me to take it to the repairman and if I have it fixed up, it may be worth more. But he insisted that I leave it how it is, and that many collectors would like it the way it is, and make the changes they want to, how they want to. I figure it all depends on the collector. Also, he looked the serial number up in a catalog and determined it was made between 1965 and 1970, then he called Selmer and they told him it was made between 1940 and 1945. I would like to know if there is a way to determine an accurate age, a ballpark realistic selling point, and where would be the best place to sell it. Thank you.
