Hello,

These are pictures worth interest.  I haven't seen a gold-plate Conn Curve
soprano prior to this.  These pictures were on eBay and the seller's address is 
malcolm@aya.yale.edu.  Here is the description:
This is a curved Bb soprano saxophone made in 1923 by the C.G. Conn company in
Elkhart, Indiana. It is serial number 113445. The instrument was gold plated at
the factory. The gold plating is in near-perfect condition - the only thing that
mars the finish is a couple of soldered repairs to the key guards. This
instrument has beautiful flowered engraving featuring the inscription "C.G.
Conn Ltd." 

The range of the instrument is from low Bb to high F. It has the standard rolled
tone holes found on Conn saxophones of this era. It is in playing condition. It
was serviced by Aronson Instrument Service (vintage saxophone experts) in 2001.
Most pads are 3 years old; a few are older. 

I just want to mention also that I really enjoy your site.  It is very
educational as well as fun to look at.

Wendell Gann
