I have a like new Albert system Bb made by Conn with the eagle trademark.
It may not be "post world war-II" plastic--probably ebonite--but the horn
is well made and very playable. I paid the summ of $15--the case has what
appears to be a hand cut brass key--custom fitted reed holder and a nifty
screw drive alongside an ebony (wood) pot for cork grease.
