It says "Freddie Freeloader". Lovely horns.

 

[Punchysax]

Think it Fred D luvile or something

 

[MarkSax]

Are these relacquered? Look like new horns.

 

[Punchysax]

The tenor is a relac from about 1960 the alto is nickel silver so unsure to be honest but probably as it’s a 99 yr old horn.
Both play awesome

I think the alto is nickel plated (i.e. plated with metallic nickel). Nickel silver is a copper alloy (with some nickel and some zinc) sometimes used in place of brass for the body tube or neck tube of modern saxophones.
