I had the pleasure of seeing and briefly playing [with minor adjustment] one being used for high school band, about 20 miles away. It looked beautiful and the laminated [?] wood body was still very good, and having worked with the student's grandfather [it was his], I counselled them to take great care in its use, and to NOT ever sell it cheaply! Dee knows more of this model's ancestry than I, and will fill you in. I believe it does date from the '40's, maybe a bit earlier. I dont know of a patent on it, but will look for the manufacturing of the body! Conn was patent-active back then. Will post if I find more. Don
