The case exterior is not the best, but the interior is not the worst. As pictured, the original mouthpiece, the mp adapter, and case are all included. Saying that, they do not leak as badly as imagined. The valve plating is 99% gone not much else to say there.

It was lightly hit with some Goddard's silver polish, which took off a considerable amount of tarnish, but wasn't thoroughly polished. The lacquer is spotty, especially on the bell.

The horn does play as-is, but it does need some maintenance to bring it up to its full potential. The serial number, 119163, dates it between 1925-30. Up for consideration is this vintage H.N.
