Up for sale, a clean King Zephyr Alto saxophone, circa 1955.  Serial number is 340,xxx (matching pocket-neck serial).  Lacquer is in remarkably nice condition, pads look fresh.  The horn is not perfect, there are a few tiny dings on the bell (and a small ding on the neck), some minor scratches here and there (some pictured on the bell), and the bottom lip area of the bell feels a little "flattened" or pressed down if that makes any sense.  I looked through the other Zephyrs that have sold or been listed recently and would say this one is cosmetically better than most.  Appears ready to play, no issues I can detect. (sorry folks, I'm not a player so these comments are only observational and I may fail to hit every detail)  Includes a "King" A mouthpiece.  Case appears original and is cosmetically fair to poor - stitching is coming off of one end and the handle looks shabby.
