A few years back I have a rather late model King double bell (I believe it was from the 30's) which was restored and very pretty but still played poorly. It was so out of tune, the harmonic series was way out of wack. the low Bb series was a half step flat and for the most part unusable unless you played everyting a half step higher!
The horn was interesting though because it had a fairly large second bell. Much larger than most. It was a US navy horn. It had US navy Quartermaster Corps engraded on the bell.
I sold it to a guy in Vancouver and he didn't like it and sent it back and it came back damaged. i never did get any money from UPS on that one.
Intersting fact; I bought it from Eddie Bert the famous trombone player. That was the only good experience from that whole ordeal, I got to meet Mr. Bert!
