Identification of Wurlitzer Vintage C Saxophone

My little sis has decided to sell her dad's sax.  It is a Wurlitzer. 
In the research I have been doing for her I know that Buescher, Conn & Martin made sax's for Wurlitzer. 
It's a C Sax per what I was told by him and my mother years ago.  It says it's a low pitch on the sax itself. 
The serial number is 55308 which leads me to believe it is most likely a Buescher from the 1919-1920 era.  Although Conn had the C.G.Conn New Wonder Series 1 at that time and M Series Naked Lady in 1955-56 that also may have had this serial number.  I don't believe it fits in those catagories though. 
It appears to have rolled holes & has mother of pearl key inlay. 
I attempted to contact the store he bought the sax from B.F. Winship & Sons Musical Supplies & Repair, my sis still has the box it came in, but the store is only listed in the historical site for Spokane, Washington.  Long since closed. 
Mom & I had it restored in the late 70's in Portland, Oregon, but it was never played again.
It has all the pieces it should and the original case.
Any help I can get her in identifying the maker and the potential value would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
