Bought this on Ebay, seller claimed it hasnt been played since the '30's, and was an attic find. Opening the case I believe him! Has a bunch of letters and sheet music from 1931 in the case. I wasnt expecting much from the pics, especially when it arrived. Had to use a tenor reed on the mouthpiece it came with, and WOW! It sounds nice! Original looking pads (no resonators or anything?) some are kind of funky looking. Bad leaks below D so no C's or anything, but tech can fix that. Stencil says "Cavalier" and has a guy riding a horse with a sword. Serial number puts it at 1923-1924. All in all, I am VERY happy with this, especially for $90!! I probably sound too excited over an old junker like this, but damned if I dont love this horn
Here it is with its big brother, a Kessler Custom Tenor:
