WM Frank made in chicago silver tenor
I found an older (probably late 30's or 40's) tenor at a garage sale for $70. The bell says "WM Frank Co,
Chicago, IL. Paramount Artist" The bell keys are on the left side when playing which dates it at this time period. I can ony match the serial number to a Martin list. I am wondering if anyone has seen anything on this horn? I did discover that WM Frank used to be employed at the Holton horn company before starting his own manufacturing in Chicago. That they also made brass instruments. My other question is would it be worth investing up to $500. in repads, etc. for this horn? The body, etc. appears in great shape.
