If it was made in 1922, it is not only pre-naked lady but also a pre- Chu
Berry model. If you check the web - I don't remember the link but there are
some links starting from www.saxophone.org that lead to serial number lists
for Conns and you can also find values. I believe the value of your sax -
gold plated - is about $700 if it is in very good to excellent condition.
If it is a little later than 1922 and is a Chu Berry, then it is worth more
on the order of $1300-1400. There is quite a bit of information on Conn
saxes on the web. A search of Excite should lead you to it.
