Introduction Worth of my instruments

[sixties]

I played alto sax when I was in high school back in the 60's. I also played clarinet (which was my main instrument). I still have these instruments, and they are in excellent condition. I also inherited a Martin "Handcraft" sax which I believe is over 100 years old. I would like to know what they may be worth.

You can start browsing online, Reverb, Ebay, Craigslists in major metro areas (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. if you're in the USA) and many instrument shops put their stock online (Mighty Quinn, etc.), that will give you some comparables. Then you have to get your instrument condition assessed. If you haven't played them in a while (and especially for the Martin) they might need some work.

Welcome to the Cafe.

But please note you have posted this in the introduction section, your request for ideas on valuation should be posted in the section about saxophones. Please make sure you don't make the request look like an ad because all classifieds should be posted in the classifieds section.

Have a look at SOLD eBay listings. I just did and it surprised me how cheap these have become. Old hat to most I guess?
