OLD hard case for Holton standard 4/4 BBb sousaphone (or most any E-flat sousaphone) - HEY DALE PHELPS!

WILL NOT FIT CONN !!! - neither 14K/36K size nor 38K/20K/22K/40K-size
It's just a little bit too small for the 14K/36K size.
It probably also will NOT fit Olds/Reynolds nor any Selmer USA sousaphone (as those are roughly the same size as 14K/36K)
It will also NOT fit a standard King sousaphone!!!
It's a shame, because it comes fairly close-but-NO-cigar to fitting King.
I can nearly guarantee that it would fit most any E-flat SOUSAPHONE...as long as the bell comes off.
It's well over 60 years old (based on a couple of cool old stickers), but is in remarkably good shape.
It shows a bit of wear, obviously...I don't believe any repairs have ever been done to it.
The inside is sort-of "deluxe-ish" (purple plush/upholstered solid bell divider/divided storage/leather snaps/etc.)
$200...local pick-up only.
I HAD kept this JUST IN CASE I ever found an E-flat sousaphone that I personally really liked...but (again...me, personally...) I've owned all of the various USA-made ones, and (sousaphone-wise) I've decided to stay with B-flat.
IF (??) you talk me into Greyhound-ing it, I'll need a $75 drop-off fee, in addition to GPX shipping cost. (It's a 2-hour round-trip, and I always end up sitting around for nearly an hour waiting for them to FIRST deal with hoards of passengers and their issues...and - with Greyhound - one can NO LONGER call ahead to see if the GPX person is on duty.)
Also, if (??) I Greyhound it, you must agree that it's YOUR property and YOUR responsibility, once I hand it off to Greyhound...and whether the GPX employee fills out the ticket correctly or not.
