I have one of these, too. The serial number is 23,707. I don't even know if it's worth a restoration of any kind, but I am glad that someone has identified what I already suspected. It is about 100 years old, and the bell has very intricate engraving of an elk and a woodsy sort of embellishment. It just says "The Elkhart" and below that, it says Elkhart, Ind., and USA under that. Very interesting! I got this when I worked at a scrap metal yard in the early '80s. We didn't call it a recycling center back then! Occasionally, someone would bring an instrument in and sell it for scrap metal. Being a music major, I always scrambled out to retrieve them as soon as possible. I did get a nice alto sax once, and got it repaired for about $50. I gave it to my youngest brother who was playing clarinet in the band at the time. He still has that!
