Reynolds "Emperor" front bell baritone - sold
I'll get pictures up later...
This is a Reynolds "Emperor" Bell front bear tone, made in Abilene Texas. I don't know much about these, but it's pretty plain Jane and unfancy. It has a little bit of a small crease at the top of the Bell but not much. The photo will make it look 10 times worse than it really is. Lots of raw brass on it, but not a lot of dents. Thousand slides are fine, except it really needs a new set of felts because it gets pretty clicky.
Takes a small shank mouthpiece, which I do not have, so I've never really given a proper play test. Sticking a trumpet mouthpiece in, I was able to make plenty of musical instrument sounds.
Listing at $130 for local pickup in Minneapolis. We can talk about shipping if you want, but I'm afraid the shipping is going to be much too expensive to be worth it. But that's up to you.
If this price is way off base or sounds insane, please put me in my place.

Photos... Intentionally to make it look as "meh" and honest as possible. Despite their appearance, all three valves have very good compression.
The main tuning slide can be removed, but it is very tight. I think there might be some sort of small dent in the outer slide tube that I can't really see.
Otherwise, I think you get the point, but feel free to ask questions if you have them
