Anybody disagree that:
1) This is not a Conn
2) This guy is clueless

Have you seen this photo or ad before? I hate to report fraud if it's only ignorance.

The Conn International series were VMIs.I'd bet some pretty good horns.I've thought about one of the CC's as a quintet horn...

This looks identical to the often overlooked B & S horns that were stencilled in the 70's... aka... Sonora, Karl Wunderlich, Gerhardt Schneider, etc. Good horns. The give-away is the shape of the thumbring and the lyre holder backplates.... still in use on the modern VMI/B & S horns.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the feedback.
