Selmer Centered Tone

I have a Selmer Centered Tone from the mid fifties that plays well, all numbers match and is in good condition. There is a hairline crack in the bell. I have no idea what it might be worth, so if anyone knows, please give me your opinion. Thanks

Look them up on eBay and work out an average price from what you see on there. Also the price depends on the keywork configuration as there were several options from the standard 17 key 6 ring model up to the 20 key 7 ring full Boehm and also the various Mazzeo systems.

Bell cracks aren't a problem as they can be glued back together and also making sure the socket ring is fitted well to prevent the socket splitting. If need be, a carbon fibre band can be fitted below the socket ring and maybe a second one below the logo.
