![]() ![]() It's market value is probably only around $400usd in good playing and physical condition. These were the second-shelf Bueschers, much like the Indianas were to Martin or the Clevelands were to King. Much better than a budget asian brand of today. This is, by today's standards, at least an intermediate horn (they didn't use such labels back then). Some strange things pop up now and again in relation to some of their horns serialed in the 55,XXX-140,XXX range. (Matter of fact, had you not written 20A, I would have said what you have there IS an Aristocrat). Their other stencils sported much more pared-down keyguards, for instance. I agree it's likely a '50's horn at the may well be '40's.interesting that "Elkhart by Buescher" engraved 20A and 30A's actually sported a more Aristocrat-esque appearance than 20A/30A's which were not branded "Elkhart". Unlike Conn or King, nobody has ever bothered to do a survey of Buescher serial # sequences for their Elkhart By Buescher or stencil line of horns.so that gives no explanation, unfortunately. ![]() The horn's #, according to all regular online Buescher sequences, would place it pre-1925.while as Bruce and TNH both correctly note, the details and design clearly are NOT of that era whatsoever. ![]() This is another one of those oddball Buescher serial #'s.
