Info on your sax

Perfection was a store brand sax built by the CONN corporation for the Bruno music store in NYC. 1914 is the patent date for the tone hole system, not the year of the horn. If the sax has pearls on the keys and a large thumb ring near the bottom on the back, it is post-1918. If it has a shelf-like curved thumbrest and no pearls (all metal keys), then it is likely 1917 or younger. Conn made saxes under many store brand names, and under their own secondary name (Pan American), as well as the Conn name. Some of the assembly details may be less exact than a real Conn model, but the body and bore design are the same. It should play very well with a new set of pads and a good adjustment by a tech.
