I will begin stating that this item is not in any way my area of expertise.  I am not a musician nor a collector of musical instruments.  I have recently acquired this through an estate purchase.  It is labeled Buescher ARISTOCRAT and from the research I conducted believe it is a model from the 1930's. It has brown bakelite keys which is indicative of that era.  You will have to be the determiner of other details.  The case had a tremendous smell of mildew which I have addressed with a mildew abatement treatment, it did a good job, but you may need to address it as well.  If you do not want the case please let me know and I will not include it in your purchase.  Much of the original lacquer is missing.  I do not know if it plays or the condition of the pads.  My guess this will be for restoration.  It did have a feather type plunger inserted into the down tube, it too has a musty odor.  The plunger is not part of the sale, nor do I think you would want it.  Please email all questions if interested.  Thanks.This item is available to International buyers only through the Global Shipping Program, I will gladly ship domestically within the US.  Thanks
