PLEASE Help ID This Holton

The serial number dates it to 1926, and it has pat oct 21 1924 on the main tuning slide. It seems like a Llewellyn, but doesn't say Llewellyn on it.

I'm running in serious circles trying to ID this thing.

Re: PLEASE Help ID This Holton

There is a Holton Llewellyn in the Holton instrument thread on Horn-u-copia, serial 104xxx dated 1929 that looks a lot like yours. Can't see the bell detail, however. Maybe some other models would give you a lead that are pictured there. I think they put that model name on several different models over the years.

Re: PLEASE Help ID This Holton

Didn't the LLewellyn have the second slide backwards? Or was that just some of them? Or am I thinking of a different brand all together?

Well, early Boosey and Hawkes had the second valve slide facing forward - I'm unsure of others though.
