THIS IS A GREAT WASHINGTON DC AREA ESTATE ATTIC OFFERING FOR AN ANTIQUE WOODWIND INSTRUMENT PLAYER OR COLLECTOR. IT\'S A RARE CLEVELAND (PRE KING, NOT KING CLEVELAND) SILVER \"A\" ALTO SAXOPHONE (SER# 937). IT\'S MAKER SIGNED ON THE BELL - SEE PHOTOS. I BELEIVE THIS SAX WAS ONLY MADE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BY THE ORIGINAL CLEVELAND COMPANY BEFORE IT WAS BOUGHT BY KING. THE SAXOPHONE COMES IN IT\'S ORIGINAL PERIOD HARD CASE WITH SHEET MUSIC LYRE, NECK STRAP AND PROTECTIVE TUBE END CAP - SEE PHOTOS. THE SAXOPHONE IS COMPLETE & ALL ORIGINAL. I PUSHED ALL OF THE KEYS TO MAKE SURE THEY WORKED. ALL OF THE KEYS DEPRESSED FINE & RETURNED. THEY ARE NOT SEIZED UP. THEY ARE ALL STILL SPRING LOADED. THE SAX HAS IT\'S ORIGINAL PERIOD PADS. THEY LOOK GOOD TO THIS LAYMAN, BUT I SURELY WILL ASSUME IT WILL NEED TO BE RE-PADDED FROM AGE. THE NECK\'S MOUTHPIECE STEM WILL NEED TO BE RE-CORKED. THE SAX IS NOT CRUSHED, BENT UP OR DENTED UP. THE BELL IS NOT WARPED, DENTED UP OR CREASED UP. IT\'S STRAIGHT. THE SILVER WILL NEED TO BE POLISHED BACK BRIGHT AGAIN. ALL OF THE MOTHER OF PEARL KEY PADS ARE PRESENT & CLEAN. THE SAXOPHONE CASE IS STILL INTACT AND SOLID. THE LID HINGES AND END CLASPS ARE FINE. THE WOOD CASE BODY IS TIGHT. THE LID CLOSES FINE. THE OUTER CASE TRIM COVERING IS VERY WORN AND BATTERED FROM AGE & USE. THE CARRY HANDLE HAS COME OFF - SEE PHOTOS. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. THE SAXOPHONE IS BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES FOR RESTORATION IN A COLLECTION. I HOPE IT SONGS GAIN IN THE RIGHT HANDS. IT\'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO BOX SIZE & WEIGHT, THIS ITEM IS ONLY BEING OFFERED TO USA buyer IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I CANNOT ACCEPT ANY INTERNATIONAL offerS FOR THIS ITEM. IT WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED IN THE USA. THE SAX WILL BE SHIPPED VIA FULLY INSURED UPS & WILL BE PRO PACKED BY THE UPS STORE HERE. THE INDICATED SHIPPING COST INCLUDES PRO PACKING. THE WINNING buyer MUST PROVIDE A PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS. (UPS WILL NOT DELIVER TO A USPS POST OFFICE BOX.)

** NEVER A RESERVE **

ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). THEY ARE OBTAINED THROUGH CONSIGNMENT OR ESTATE LIQUIDATION PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR OVER 13 YEARS. I AM NOT A \"YARD SALER\" OR A \"PICKER\". YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I WANT buyers TO VIEW THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHEN THEY CAME FROM THE ESTATES. I DESCRIBE ITEMS AS I AM LOOKING AT THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. IF I TEST THE FUNCTION OF A MECHANICAL ITEM, THE DESCRIPTION ADVISES OF WHAT THE ITEM IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN TESTED, NOT WEEKS AFTER IT IS OWNED BY THE BUYER. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT\'S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO.
THE ITEMS YOU SEE HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL NOT END AN sale EARLY TO GET MORE MONEY FOR AN ITEM LOCALLY. ONCE AN ITEM IS UP & RUNNING, IT STAYS RUNNING UNTIL THE sale ENDS (UNLESS I MAKE A BAD DESCRIPTION ERROR & HAVE TO END THE sale TO FIX THE PROBLEM & THEN RE-LIST IT.) ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD TO THE WINNING buyer AT THE AMOUNT THEY WON IT FOR. I NEVER REFUSE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION BASED ON WHAT AN ITEMS SELLS FOR.IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP.
MY sales ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. ALSO, I TO TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE PHONY HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. I WANT BUYERS TO SEE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT I AM SEEING WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED. I DO NOT USE THE DISTRACTION OF OVER-FLUFFED ADVERTISING IN AN ATTEMPT TO CAUSE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO IMPULSE offer & THEN REGRET IT.
COLLECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. MY ITEMS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR PART WAY THROUGH THE sale. I CANNOT END sales EARLY FOR THE \"WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW\" OR \"WHAT IS YOUR BUY IT NOW PRICE\" EMAILS. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT sales TO FOLLOW THROUGH.OCCASIONALLY, IF THE ESTATE REQUESTS, I DO USE THE \"BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER\" FORMAT.I NEVER PUT A RESERVE ON ANY sale.RESERVESARE JUST A PHONY WAY OF TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING BY GIVING THE ILLUSION OF AN sale.
I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM.I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED.I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR BUYER\'S REMORSE. I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR FALSE or FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINTS MADE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK BUYER\'S REMORSE. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS.

I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN, TAKEN APART, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BUY THE BUYER AFTER IT IS RECEIVED. I CAN OFFER NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS ON MECHANICAL ITEMS OR WATCHES IN REFERENCE TO HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS THE DO WHEN I OBTAIN THEM. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM, AND I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK.
PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN offerDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDE WHAT SMELLS \"OLD\" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS \"SMELLS OLD\" OR \"SMELLS LIKE SMOKE\". JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
PLEASE REMIT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF sale\'S END. I AM VERY FRIENDLY & ACCOMMODATING, BUT NON-PAYING / NO CONTACT buyers DESTROY THE VALUE OF ITEMS. IF A WINNING buyer DOES NOT PAY FOR AN ITEM, I WILL HAVE TO FILE AN NON-PAYMENT CASE TO RECOUP THE FEES. I SHIP WITHIN 5 DAYS AFTER CLEARED PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.
I ALWAYS TRY TO PACK MULTIPLE SMALL PURCHASES IN ONE BOX TO SAVE THE WINNING buyer A BIT ON THE SHIPPING/PACKING COST (AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO W/O RISK OF BREAKING ITEMS BY JAMMING THEM IN ONE BOX.)I NEVER STACK FULL SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER UNLESS THEY HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO UPS GROUND SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR APO ADDRESSES. ALL ITEMS SHIPPED TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR A U.S. APO WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA AIRMAIL. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.THELARGE ITEM UPS SHIPPING COST SHOWN IN MY LISTINGS IS FOR INSURED UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRMAIL LARGE ITEM COST BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS. I GENERALLY CANNOT ALLOW PICK-UPS DUE TO BUSY BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
I SHIP ALL ITEMS INTERNATIONALLY VIA USPS GLOBAL PRIORITY FOR TRACKING & SELLER PROTECTION.I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONAL ITEMS VIA USPS 1ST CLASS AIRMAIL DUE TO LACK OF TRACKING. ONLY GLOBAL PRIORITY TRACKS THE BOX TO YOUR DOOR & PROVIDES SELLER PROTECTION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE USPS OVERCHARGES FOR THIS SIMPLE TASK, BUT IT\'S THE ONLY WAY I SHIP DUE TO RAMPANT INTERNATIONAL BUYER FRAUD. I DO NOT USE UPS OR FED-EX FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT ALL. I CAN ONLY OFFER EXTREMELY LARGE & HEAVY ITEMS TO USA buyers. I DO NOT SHIP EXTREMELY LARGE OR HEAVY ITEMS INTERNATIONALLY. PLEASE NOTE: THE SHIPPING COST TO CANADA WILL BE A BIT LESS THAN INDICATED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COST FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE INVOICE EMAIL I SEND.
