That’s a Martin “medium” BBb. It will have about a 20” bell. Just slightly bigger (all around) that a new style King 2341.
The one I had sounded gorgeous.
Wish it were within driving distance as I’d buy it in a heartbeat!

Wish this had been posted 2 weeks ago when I was driving just a stone's throw past that area. Somebody go get it!

I’d buy it if someone were coming thru to IL and was willing to bring this along…

I wasn't paying attention either... Says SOLD (in red letters no less)
Oh well.
From the photo, i could make out "Band Instrument Co" part, so that would make it pretty early... teens? Too lazy to look it up, and i suppose it is only torturing myself to expend effort to find out about what i already missed out on.
