Earl 1950's Reynolds Trombonehelp

[Douglas Levack]

I acquired a Reynolds Trombone from a friend I was caring for. He passed away 10 years ago at the ripe age of 93. I was wondering how much the trombone is worth for insurance purposes. I may donate this instrument to the music department of our local school here in North Carolina . It is in real good shape, includes as stand and 4 heavy mouth pieces. Just needs a good polishing. I think the age is around 1951/52. It has an engraving on the bell: FA Reynolds, Cleveland Ohio. Serial #24137 . Any info you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Sincerely, Doug Levack, Chief Yeoman (Submarines) US Navy (Retired).
