I have come into possession of an alto from about the 1950s that has several traits that scream CONN. It's got the 6M-style pinky cluster, but the G# has a nailfile pattern on it like a Chu. It has the Mercedes-style low C keyguard and red rollers. I believe the engraving states that it is a "Fidelty Deluxe", but I'm not certain of this (it's at home right now). Also, it has a cool adjustable thumbhook like I've seen on some Conn 6Ms.
It's stamped "Made in Italy".
I'll get pics up tonight, but I was wondering if any of you have run into a horn like this? I haven't tried playing it yet.
