York. Your questions were answered on the other forum as well. These can be good horns.
Yes but how much, how do we can estimate this horns, and in compareason it's similar to buescher/martins or low values, i don't know very good this brand, i have only one c soprano but it's differents writing

It's branding York Michigan with another writing.

Or in this horn, York is writing differently,

$404. USD or £307 on the buy. Then add cost of repairs. More than Chinese horn.
Worth ? Whatever you can sell for if you can find a buyer.
For insurance as addition to your collection. Seek advice from insurance agent.

Not absolutely not for sale, just information, just to have compareason with buescher/conn/King,

It's very not good values, but now, other asking
Why York have not good values, it's good horn,

I think York is similar at Dolnet or couesnon, not very high quality, but not cheapest not **** horn, just underrated horn

I'm wrong maybe
 
There are people that like them. They are a good quality horn, but because of the keywork being old-fashioned, most people don’t like to play them. Overhauled, with new pads, you could probably get $500 (432 €) but it might take a while to sell.

York wasn’t considered a top level instrument, except maybe before 1925 or so. By that time most professionals were playing either Buescher or Conn. In the 1930s, Selmer and King came into their own, but York never achieved a high level of recognition. Whether that’s fair or not, it is the perception.
 
Well, you're looking at a York, with patched neck, and I can't tell from the photos for sure but it has the look of a formerly silver plated horn that's been stripped down to brass. Also no front F key.


On the US market, I'd say it's worth about $200 if not playing all the way down to low Bb, but without meaningful damage; if playing but old pads, maybe worth $300. Freshly overhauled you might get $500-600.

This does NOT mean it's a poor quality instrument. It just reports the probable real world selling price in the US.

This has value to you. That’s all that matters. Collections are just that. A grouping of an individual’s interests. It’s not always about money.

Su saxofón de York parece desvalorado, lamentablemente en nuestro mundo fuera a su país de Perú.
Your York saxophone seems underrated, unfortunately in our world outside your country, Peru.

No obstante si mantenido en un estado reparado bueno, este saxofón puede ser un instrumento valioso.
However if kept in a good repaired condition, this saxophone can be a valuable instrument.

Si no te importa, no importa.
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

He lives in Caen France and speaks French.
 
I clicked on his stated location of Caen underneath his avitar and forum name. The Café opened Google Maps and obtained:
I have no clue how you received a different response. I just did the same thing.
@Pete Thomas the two of us are only 994 miles apart. How does one of us get Peru and the other get France? Both from here and google.

I have my computer operating system and browsers set to the Spanish language. (6 years ago I made this change when I reinstalled the operating system. With all Spanish prompts, I had fun, using my cell to translate. Now, I am used to it.)

This is probably why G**gle assumed I was looking for Spanish items first. It is also another reason why I use other search engines beside them, and other video platforms than Y**T***e. Y**T***e was setting all text and voices in monologue and dialogue videos to Spanish A.I. voices automatically,
why I seek other services. I want to be in control, not them.
