An Early Babbitt 6* "Super" Tone Master for Alto in good order, but not a "keeper" for me...
Identifying marks:
USA Stamp.
"Super" in parenthesis on the shank.
Large font facing number on the side, 6*.
Slightly wavy lengthwise lines on the table, about as far apart as fingerprint lines.
Some tooth marks to bite plate and a some wear overall, commensurate with age. See photos below.
For info, see: http://mouthpiecemuseum.com/MouthpieceMuseum/OttoLink_files/OttoLink_Flowchart.jpg

Complete with ligature, cap, and box. (old reed inserted, as packing piece).
£200 plus insured p&p of £7.50 (Special Delivery, next day) in the UK.
5% of sale price to the forum fund.
NB. If you are doing price comparison research, there's a 9* on ebay UK with no lig or cap for £245, and a 5* on ebay USA with no lig or cap for $300 plus import charges.
