Back of the sax has the letter'A' over the number'10200' which is over the letter'L' The case is sax worthy but has seen nearly a century of handling. All the buttons and gizmos(technical terms) I pushed moved things. Lots of the brass has oxidized to a reddish patina. I cannot be sure but I believe it was made in the 1920's. Measures 22" from neck socket to bottom curve. Not a brand of other sax makers such as Lyon, Healy, Conn, Martin, Etc. Please note that Couturier is the manufacturer. This is an alto saxophone made by Couturier in La Porte. Allow me to preface this auction by saying I know nothing of this instrument other than what I write here.
