Was thinking buescher but don't think so for sure, maybe Martin? I don't have a lot of knowledge of Martins.

Not Martin. No beveled/soldered tone holes.

My guess would be Conn or Pan American

Looking at similar old horns seems close to an Elkhart by Buescher. Must be pre-war with the fork Eb.

I agree on EBICo, but I'll add I'm not as familiar with them as I am for Buescher.

Would be a project, probably more of a student model too.

C-key guard does not look right for Conn.

I'm thinking maybe King. The neck brace looks like a 1930s-1940s Zephyr neck. Are the key cups flat or do they come to a point in the middle (can't tell for sure from the pics)? If the latter, it's a King.

NOPE, my guess is that this is Italian... Orsi or some such. No pic of the pinky table but I'd guess it has a nail file G sharp? The bell to body brace + key guards + nail file G sharp would tell the tale for me, plus it would probably say "Made in Italy" by the serial number on the back of the body tube.

Here's an eBay listing for an older King Cleveland.

Looks pretty similar to me. Again, note the distinctive neck brace.

That's it for sure thanks. It sold for $180, probably about right although would need at least $500 in repairs by the look of it.
