I now know how i will remodel my bathroom one day;)

Thanks for the reply! one of those pics has the serial number on the leadpipe, did you see the pics? There is no other writing, even on the bell. In case you can't see pics, number on leadpipe is 955BS1102

Rowuk, what did the 3D printer cost?

Now THAT would be a feat, since he has been dead over 20 years;)

Funny info from old article about Doc and wife. Article link below.

An upstairs study is filled with Doc’s memorabilia: his 1986 Grammy, pictures of his children, now grown, and of horses and of celebrities with whom he has worked. A bathroom contains hundreds of trumpet mouthpieces and a music stand next to the toilet

I assume by the lack of responses it might not be a B&S horn and no one wants to make fun of me for paying too much? LOL!

Doc's Birthday is coming up. He will be 92 on July 7th, and he keeps playing;)

They ship them in bags. Unless in a case. Got one of each. Not bad at all. My sister works for Klien. She likes it too, so give them some business;)

I had an art teacher in 9th grade, last name was Babcock. She took hell;) Very nice woman though.

Was the inside clean still?

Even the $79 Chinese specials are better than they were even 10 years ago. Indian made valves are the ugliest things ever though. Rough and pitted even.

We all go through unfortunate crap. The reward for surviving them is living longer to pursue our interests;) Almost 20 years ago, i spent 7 weeks in the hospital. I was 36 and had just suffered my second bout with Pancreatitis. Almost killed me. The last few weeks, i had 3 different roommates who all got better and left before me. All over 60;) So i have a number of problems still too, but keep fighting the fight;)

Not as bad as it looks. Its corrosion, transferred from the case. Be a sweet raw brass conversion.

All that tarnish was a clue to the silver finish. Cleaned up nicely.

Not a lot on the Internet on them. I am assuming this horn is B&S simply because the letters were on the number on the lead pipe, and others were bidding on it. It has s 3rd valve slide stop screw similar to older Yamaha trumpets. Not the nuts like a Strad.

It may be an early B&S? I either got a steal or i made GW wealthy and got a Trumpet shaped object;)

Here are the before pics

I think its decent quality. it is a silver finish , not a chrome one;) Let me know. Will post after photos later.

Seems well built. Survived getting slides unstuck.

I have been gone too long. Welcome rowuk, and any more refugees from TM

Just in case anyone is near Indiana;)

Any experience with them? Bought one on GS tonight, and it appears to be a Strad clone. I see some online discussions where they compare pretty straight forward with them. Looking forward to getting this one.

Maynard, Wayne and Louis could. Seriously, way too many variables in a question like that to be able to answer it.
