I know... I really thought of taking it on the BIN when it was a Martin. But now that it's a Holton... Still really cool, but I know less about the medium sized Holtons. People have placed bids now, so no more BIN.

So, we'll see...

from the seller...



...and it is Holton...probably (??) similar to the upright bell 3V that I recently purchased...

Wow, those valves look......used.

Whoever gets it will be investing in some heavy valve oil...

Not it!

Which one of you bastards keep outbidding me? I acquired the serial number. It was made in 1925.

Someone should have just taken the initial $850 BIN.

Sorry! That's the problem of eBay and bidding... once there's a bid, it's all gone. And now, you've already shown that you want it. Now... how bad do you want it?!

Yeah, that's the quandary. Part of me really wants it for playing reasons, and the other part to save it from some asswipe cutting it to CC.

I am fine with well-used instruments...but those valves make it a "no go" from me. Hard pass!

It went cheap.

Sorta ... Remember, the original BIN was $850
