Conn 48H from Elkhart Era, Late 1950's.  Known as the Conn "Connstellation" Model, Production on this model started in 1956 and went into the early 80's.  Has 8" Nickel Silver, Lacquered Bell Section, Yellow Brass Tuning Slide, .500 Yellow Brass Handslide, Nickel End Crook.  All original parts & lacquer. Same size specs as the yellow brass model 6H.   No signs of serious damage or previous restoration.  Bell is super straight and very open playing.  Handslide is very good despite lots of lacquer wear on the outer and a small area of chrome plating wear on stockings. Hand slide could possibly be improved with the right touch, but is certainly playable and gig ready as is.
