#333k! with tear-drop G#. Comes with end plug also!
Owned by a professional (tv shows player etc), and well loved. Underneath the bits of dust, is a King ready to woe the crowds as they all do. Serial number dating is averaged at "333xxx" numbers starting in 1954, however that is not a concrete cutoff. Thus, I list this as a 1953-54 model.
PADS: quite old, rebuild recommended.
CASE: original King case, although it may be a 1960s/70s replacement King case as it matches the later Marigaux logo; it's in good condition and fully functional.
BONUS MOUTHPIECE: includes a Meyer 5M rubber with tip at 0.067". This would likely be from the early-mid era (1980s/90/00s); which means it could be better than new production models -- IMHO.
