I found a meyer in one of the tenor cases at school. It says meyer close to the shank and in the diamond it says "6 meyer lapped facing M" and on the shank medium chamber. on the other side of the shank says "made is U.S.A." what model is this?

Not the one folks pay the big bucks for. The coveted ones are the vintage alto pieces made in New York. But say it's an early Babbitt, and who knows...

So you are saying this is the tenor version of the highly coveted alto one? or an even earlier one?

I have two of these and frankly speaking I have no Idea if they are sought after or not, I know these have been in a drawer of a shop for at least 20-25 years but I have no idea if it is possible to date them precisely and/or how. I had a look at Theo Wanne's site but couldn't really find any real help there. I have the impression that the Meyer production of these made in U.S.A. pieces isn't exactly changed all that much through the years.

If it says "Made In USA" then it is the newer ones. Not the $2750 Meyer people are hoping to find.
