I had seen another auction earlier this year for one....guy had priced it outrageously, and to me it just looked like a YTS-21 with lacquer keys and some extra post-factory engraving, "Super" added below the Vito insignia.

But here's another one, so I am gonna assume that these were actually factory horns, no post-factory shenanigans involved.

But looks just like a 21 with lacq keys and guards, to me.

One might have expected a high F# perhaps or maybe one or two keywork mechanisms to be a bit different, maybe even real MOP keytouches (?), but I don't see any of that in the pics....

That's curious. Interesting that the seller believes it was re-lacquered at some point.

That may be because the keys are lacquer (?)

The funny thing is, the other one...ah, here it is.....https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vito-Super...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I thought it must have been a relacq and someone just added "Super" and the fancy engraving....to a regular ol' 21.

But then this is the second one, and the finish and engravings match, so....
