Hey Guys,
I have a 4 valve Reynolds Eb sousaphone, that sports the serial number: 3701.
The bell matches, and is says "made by F.A. Reynolds - Cleveland OH"
It apparently was a military horn, as well.
I tried Lars Kirmser's list, but the number does not appear there.
Anybody know how I can date it?

While it is not specific, my guess would be WWII.

Probably during the transition between Ohio Band Instrument Company and F A Reynolds. Around 1936 comes to mind.
