Looks a bit crunchy in spots. Lots of patches and the bell rim looks like it's disintegrating. This music store is somewhat local to me (about 50 minutes away) and they occasionally have interesting, if slightly overpriced, stuff. I'd bet they'd take an offer.

Looks similar to mine- if so, the bore is probably 0.787". Should be a great player when properly repaired, but they'd have to drop the price to make it feasible.
