Vintage Lorenzo Sansone Five-Valve Single Bb Horn w/ CaseCondition
This horn is in good working condition. All of the valves turn smoothly and are well-oiled. The tuning slides move freely and do not stick. There are some small dents in the tubing. There is one repaired solder joint on the horn, near the leadpipe. 
Cosmetics
The lacquer is heavily worn on the inside of the bell, and is discolored and oxidized in places. There is a fair amount of finish loss on the tubing, particularly around the outer edges of bends. There are scuffs, scratches, and some nicks/dings in the tubing as well. Please see the photos for full details.
