Iwas cleaning up the basement today and came across my dad,s old sax . My dad passed away 25 years ago and I,ve been storing this sax for that same time. This is all the info I could find on it. It says Pat,n. Dec.8/1914. 1119954 then below that an o then below that 111439 and below that a capital L. Finally the name Conn and the letters LTI .It is silver plated. Would anyone have any idea if this sax has any value? Best Regards, John

I don't know the value, but I have a very similar situation except the serial number below the C is

M193651

I am trying to find out where it was sold.

If I find out any info on mine, I will let you know. I suspect about $500

John,
Your C-Melody is likely a New Wonder Series I, made C. 1923.

Roger,
Your C-Melody is a Conn New Wonder Series II C. 1927.

Both horns were made in Conn's Elkhart, IN plant.
