Ser # 244,xxx, a 1931 model.  Another Great "Chu" with  Art Deco engraving,  nailfile G#, rolled tone holes, tuning neck, everything we love.  It has been very nicely relacquered and looks nice and vintage (see pics).  I repadded it, with a Conn-style, standard repad (aka, a vintage rebuild). Sarge decided to send it off to Sherry Huntley and have it re-engraved to make this Deco-style bell really pop out (also secretly adding Silver on the engraving for blend/pop).

REBUILD: by WWS

CASE: Classic vintage Conn hard case included.
