RE: Value of a Leblanc, a P F ?

Yes, it sounds like a Pete Model 1611 [according to my '70's wall-type poster-ad , about 3 ft square], since the P F model 1610 , and the similar Dynamic H [as in Houvenaghel, acoustician] model 1276 do not have the gold-plated keywork, but have the same "nominal" big-bore size of 15.00 mm. I had the pleasure recently of "checking-out" a Dyn H for friends, and in my judgement it, and the PF's , are the loud-speaking "dance band" cl's like the big-bore Selmers of the 30-50's, remember the Glenn Miller sax section with cl Lead!!? Yes, call LeB, and possibly Tom Ridenour as well. Also, the PF's were [are still?] the 18/7 [keys/rings] models, having articulated C#/G# and "fork" Eb/Bb apparently as standard. You may really have a goodie! Don
