Well, that's a good reason to ask certainly, and you never know if someone here can come with a bit more about either similarities with other horns or known stencils. But if they're interested in it as a family keepsake, it would cost more to repair than it's worth... and may not be much good even overhauled. If they're interested in it for value, the same pretty much applies.
How about smelly old saxophone cases? Other than acclimating me to scotch whiskey some time ago, I've had no need for them since.
Before any irate Scots beat down your door, scotch is whisky, never whiskey.
Do Scots have nothing better to be upset about? What a wonderful world they must live in.
Hey, Scots are SUPPOSED to be irascible! And the ones that were too wild for Scotland emigrated to Northern Ireland, and when that grew too tame for them, they emigrated to the US and became the Scotch-Irish (and yes, that's the name, the only place where Scotch isn't a drink...). and the ones that were too wild for the eastern US? Well, they came here to Texas.
Ah, yes, the great Scottish diaspora... It reminds me of the lyrics of "Boy Named Sue". I cannot imagine how tough it must be to ride the range while wearing a plaid skirt. Oh, the chafing.
Possibly from Italy, early 1930’s this may be a rare Leonildo Desidera & Figli - Verona Italy.
That’s not a crack in the metal. The soldered joint has become detached.
Not a can of worms to myself and a few others that enjoy a good research project. Although I can be a grumpy old Scott and stubborn old boar. Not today 😉
Thanks for chiming in.
