I have it broken down and as usual there is always one smart *** rod that is stuck. No quibbling over a few years at this point. Whatever year, it's over a 100 years old now. If they made 50,000 from 1897-1916 and this one is 3/4th the way through.I just put 1913 on there and call it a day.

He saw one of my youtube vids comparing mouthpieces I uploaded in November, then contacted me stating that he wanted me to be the one to restore his horn. I contacted the seller and told him what I usually buy these for (He had $500 on it) and to keep me in mind if it didn't sell. I found it in Colorado off if Craigslist two years ago.
