| Oh, my! They had the 37th LB Chicago, didn't know what they had, yet knew enough about the original purchase to get listed in the Benge data base? Geez - you're one lucky fella.
Well, let's hear the history of this trumpet. It's gotta be good!
I've been in touch with the owner of a Chicago Benge #31xx. It is a one-owner horn. But he wants over $3500, putting it way over the market. Given there is nothing special about that particular horn or when it was made, the owner simply doesn't want to sell it, has no idea of the market value, or both.
Why is it I fine all of those sellers, yet others are able to find prizes from owners who don't have a clue and sell for a song?
Life ain't fair!
