This is a vintage Conn 60I double bell euphonium.  Horn is in satin silver plate with bright silver accents and gold wash bell interiors.  It has the classic "lady" engraving featured on higher-end Conn low brass and saxophones from the 1930s - 1950s.  This horn has serial #295914 which dates it to 1934.  The instrument is in good overall condition for it's age and a good candidate for restoration.  Valves are worn but work smoothly.  All tuning slides pull.  Refer to the pictures for a better idea of the condition of the horn.  The horn accepts a small-shank trombone/baritone mouthpiece, not included.  No case is included. From the Conn Loyalist website:  What Conn said in 1931:
"This instrument is being played by a majority of the finest euphonium artists in the world. Among these are such well-known virtuosos as Noble P. Howard, Sousa's Band; Simone Mantia, Joseph O. De Luca, Aaron Harris, Salvatore Florio and Charles O. Caputo. This model represents the highest developments in euphoniums, for there is nothing lacking. To the smooth, accurately proportioned sound passages resulting from the Hydraulic Expansion Process has been added the two bell-front type detachable, adjustable bells. The larger bell enables the player to throw the sound in any desired direction and the smaller bell enables the performer to use echo or trombone effects to give variety and life to the tone coloring. The fifth valve is used to control this extra bell while the fourth valve is used for the low pedal notes. For the performer who is looking for the ultimate in euphoniums, this, unquestionably, is the instrument."
