NO neck and it must have been lost a long time ago as the body is nice with no dents or dings. Engraving is beautiful showing gold or bright brass colors in it too. Wear to the gold wash inside the bell. Springs are all good and action is good with valves all moving nicely. Pads actually look good and might be original and they still feel pliable. With a neck this might actually play just the way it is but I won't guarantee that and it would certainly benefit from a repad. This must have been stored really well as I didn't clean it up any at all and it is straight from the closet of an estate. Marked Pat'd Dec 8 1914 and then a C then 113975 with an L below. It comes with the original Conn case which has peeling to the cloth on the rear left corner and also the finger jointed joint in that corner needs reglued. Several of the metal reinforcing corners are loose. Also ligature and mouthpiece guard and some cork grease. This also had a A Lefvres Paris France mouthpiece with it but I am listing that in another sale. 18b15d 30/13/13/15d s............................................................................................................................................................................................

PLEASE NOTE EBAY IS REQUIRING SELLERS TO USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR AND It will not be exactly correct on items that must be shipped in more than one box--such as pairs of speakers, sets of dishes, pair of large lamps, etc MANY TIMES IT IS CLOSE BUT NOT EXACTLY CORRECT.Please email for a shipping quote on items that require more than one box.Also please note that when Ebay combines multiple items they do not take into account it needs a bigger box and might then be charged dimensional weight. Due to Ebay now charging a fee on the shipping cost I have discontinued shipping International. Do not expect to buy the item and force me to ship it to you. If you want the item badly email me and see if I might consider shipping it. The items I sell Might or Might not be from a smoke free home. Most items are used and vintage and smoking occurred in almost 50% of the homes in the US at one time. Don't ask me to smell them because I cannot.

I am 1 hour south of Harrisburg Pa, 1/2 hour south of York Pa, 1 hour north of Baltimore Md. , 1 3/4 hours from Washington DC. 10 minutes off of Exit 4 of Interstate 83 in Pa. Also if you aren't happy with the shipping cost know that peanuts,bubblewrap and boxes cost money and I pack well--I just won't throw an item in a box and let it rattle away.I am aware as to how the packages are treated by the shippers and do what I have to to get the items to you safely. If that means the item costs more to ship due to dimensional weight then that is the way it is. IF THE SHIPPING COST IS NO MORE THAN WHAT THE CALCULATOR SHOWS THERE IS NO REASON TO GIVE A SELLER ANYTHING OTHER THAN A 5 STAR RATING FOR SHIPPING COST. . International bidders be aware that you will be responsible for customs duties to your country. You pay them--I do not.Also do not expect me to falsify the customs documents for you. Since Ebay has now decided to charge a fee on shipping cost I am no longer agreeing to ship International.The risk to me is greater--the fees are more. Thanks for looking/bidding and good luck.
