1972 Harry James King trumpet pic. link

This particular model was news to me. I had a 60's Super 20 Symphony "Harry James" model with a totally different valve block design. This looks closer to a Silver Flair valve block. I had heard that he had King special make his horns with the "balance" valve forward design used in the old Selmers and Olds Recording but had never seen a picture of that design in the Kings.

Hope you all find this interesting.
