I really don't know a lot about old horns, well new ones really for that matter, I played in high school and now have the urge to play again. I was on e bay looking at getting a horn, and found a Conn that will suit me fine till I get into practice again. I also ran across a old Holton from the late 1930's, I decided to pick it up, thought it had to be worth more that what the bids were on it, now I just don't know if I made a mistake or not.

It said on the discription that the seller thought it was from 1939 after doing a little looking around. It needs new springs, has a little wear on the finish, and has a couple small dings, other than that it looks like it is in good shape. I was just looking for some people with knowledge to let me know what something like this may go for.
