And I though the 1948 Chicago Benge I got at a local estate sales last year was the find of my life. It was in similar mechanical condition except for some lacquer wear.

I believe that one was not legitimate. The same listing was changed to a violin _________________ Del Quadro "The Mother" |

$999 for a Beuscher 400 in Toledo OH. Not a steal, but it does appear to be close to mint:

Wow. I missed that one. I live just west of Chicago. I found my Chicago Benge at a local estate sale last year and my Martin at one a few months ago. _________________ Kanstul FB Classic b-flat&C

Anyone know if these horns are any good? Thinking of checking this one out. Blessings don't seem to have the same pedigree as the vintage Olds based on what I can find online. $100 is pretty cheap, but I've already got a solid Super and wouldn't want to put money towards a similar but worse horn. |

There is an Estate Sale in Elk Grove IL (west of Chicago) listed on Estatesales.net that has a trumpet listed. Only one fuzzy photo with no description. The case is fabric with a zipper and a flap, just like the cases Kanstul used to use. First day of the sale is Nov 9th, 2023.
Skip this one. Chinese knock off. Someone bought it anyway. _________________ Kanstul FB Classic b-flat&C

$7200 for a pair of York Airflows in Ann Arbor, MI. Not cheap, but you don't see them on Facebook Marketplace everyday:

$600 Olds Recording in southern NH. Could be a good deal if the valves are in good shape.
