This instrument is one of the “last” professional models made in Conn's Elkhart factory (1937-1969). This example was also part of the Holton factory reference collection, which means it was used by Holton as reference for other horn models. The instrument still retains various "marks" done with markers, which were likely done by Holton employees.
