York Soprano Sax (1927)

I just saw a 1927 York Soprano Sax at a flea market. Would it be worth purchasing? It seemed like it was in good condition. Some sticky keys and some pad adjustments may need work. No dents. It comes with a case. The gentleman was asking $350.00. Does anyone know if it would be a decent instrument to play?

    I just bought one of these ,, same year, curved model, Mine is playable but needs a good overhaul to be perfect. I was impressed with the bright and powerfull sound. Stick with a vintage mouthpiece, hopfully the original is still with yours. I have tried a newer mouthpiece , and the original works better. I like mine a lot, solid little guy ,, fun
