So I went into my attic this afternoon, looking for a fan to place inside my room, an I spot an alto saxophone case. I pull it out, open the case, and I find an alto saxophone... in pieces. =/ I take a look at the sax, and noticed the words "Peerless American" engraved on the bell. The bell keys are on opposite sides also. The serial number is 34,XXX, if that helps. There are also two mouthpieces in the case: a Goldentone (black), and a Belmonte. Can anybody help me find out who made this saxophone, and if possible provide some information about the two mouthpieces? The search results didn't help. Thanks in advance.

Meanwhile, I'm going to look in my attic again in hopes of spotting a tenor saxophone case... Maybe I'll find a Mark VI... :twisted:

Unfortunately, my camera sucks and can't take pictures that close...

Ironically, both the letters "A" and "L" are engraved on the back. Here's the engraving on the back, from top to bottom:

ATD SEPT 14 1915
1153489
A
34XXX
L

It's a Conn, as it has the Mercedes-car-badge low C keyguard. However, I don't think I'll go through the hassle of getting it rebuilt because it's expensive, and too many parts are missing. =/ Thanks for the help guys.
