I have a king alto (silver) circa 1918. Plays ok but I am no pro and wouldnt know if it was a real nice one.

Does anybody know if HN White were making good horns at this time ?

Alto not 1918 soprano.

i guessed 1918 based on serial of 719** but this was obviously during the war when the factory would have been making arms not saxes.

Anyway any thoughts would be welcome. It does not have lots of delicate engravings like some I have seen.

Wilsonh, With that SN, the sax would have been made about 1924. I have not played an Alto HN White from that era, but I like my '26 HN White Soprano very much.
