I recently bought an old alto engraved Chas E Foote and took it to Allegro, Oxford for a second opinion. They thought it might be a Conn stencil from the 1920s but were unsure. Does anyone know what this is and if it is worth spending any money on a repad etc?
Thanks

Nothing about it screams Conn (which usually have the Mercedes style key guard over low C), but the pearl G# looks like Buescher. Is the serial number printed like a rounded arc over the words "Low Pitch"?

More Buescher than Conn...

Looks french made but not worth a lot of money

look at the D key in the first pic. it looks like it used to have the extra padcup ontop arrangement but it has been sealed off.
almost definately French, looks like my wall-hanging rene guenot tenor
