It had quite a bit of school use, starting at Moravian Prep School (Bethlehem, PA), then Wheelus Air Base (Tripoli, Libya) and finally Arlington, Virginia. I last played it regularly in 1966. It comes in its original case with a compartment for the two mouthpieces. It also includes a mute and I have three books (also vintage 1950's and 1960). It also comes with a removable plastic handgrip (on the trumpet).
Some of the luster is gone and it probably needs some oil, but plays well. It is sold as is. Ultimate soccer manager patch.
