I picked this trumpet up from Craigslist and cleaned it up, seems to be in decent shape. I'm trying to find out what it might be worth, but can't seem to find anything at all. Any clue what this could be worth, even just a ball park figure? https://imgur.com/a/4dXVhIs |

Don't know anything about that particular model, but generally Conns from that era are worth a few hundred (more or less, depending on condition). I've got a couple from around that era that I paid about 100 bucks for 10 or 15 years ago, and don't think the market has much changed for them, apart from inflation, per a quick eBay check.
Though apparently this one with a naked lady engraving went for much more https://www.ebay.com/itm/265163906639?hash=item3dbd001e4f:g:~ikAAOSwqvlgotV6
So if yours has a naked lady engraved on it somewhere, you may have hit the jackpot.
Edit: I really love Conns from this era. They're better than their "value" indicates. I have a weird prototype New Wonder cornet that, in its limited way, is one of the very best sounding horns I've ever owned. |

It does not, it only has the Bb high pitch slide. |
