1919 Buescher True Tone Low Pitch Saxophone Gold #41581 Original Case, Key

Description

I got four saxophones in this estate.
I had to fight off a local music store from begging her to sell it to them.
Serial Number dates it to 1919 from my research, #41581
Low Pitch True tone 41581 stamped on the neck
Original to my knowledge hard leather case, marked Conn. Case shows some signs of wear but has the original key.
Still has lots of life left in the case.
Saxophone is in as seen condition and has had ZERO attempts to clean alter or play. I haven't even wiped it down with a dry cloth.
I saw no breaks in the saxophone or major dents. Some, small ones.
Please ask question and I will try my best to answer them.
No hard corrosion anywhere, some scratches and missing some finish throughout the sax, which i was told was common on a professional gig instrument of this age.
Has a repair receipt looks to have been repaired at least once, if not more in its lifetime.
Has slight mildew in case and in mouthpiece/neck compartment. Gives off a slight odor. I am used to this being in the antique world but worth mentioning.
Comes with neck, 2 straps, does has mildew on straps, again I have made ZERO attempt to clean or even wipe off.
What you see is what you get. Again, I am not an expert and welcome comments and questions. Selling as is with the intent that it may need some adjusting to get up to your standard for playing, but I hope you will be pleasantly surprised.
While I was a professional musician for over 6 years, saxophones are not my thing. I have tried my best to describe it to my knowledge.
