Here in Norway we have got this markedplace kalled Finn, where you advertise things you want to sell, buy or just give away. There is an altosaxophone for sale named Collegiate from 1940, the serialnumber is 114.222.-310. The person who is going to sell this instrument wants 9000 Nkr (1389 usd) in payment. Iīm not thinking of buying it, but have searched around the web to try and find anything about it - but canīt find anything.
Does anyone of you know this brand? And is it worth the price?

It is a model made by Holton in Elkhorn Wisconsin. They were a large maker of brass instruments but not know for their saxophones except the Rudy Wiedolf model. That is a very high price for that horn as it would sell here on ebay for $200-400 US.

Thank you for answering. This horn has been out on this markedplace for a while now, and will continue to be so with that price I understand.
