The last laugh. I know for a fact there is a 3rd Chicago York, for I own it and I am going to take it to the grave with me so that nobody else will ever get to play it. It's never been overhauled, great satin silver finish, and in fact the original valves are still tight. It looks just like the shorter one but of course the 5th valve is different.

HaHaHa!!

I wouldn't be surprised if you did have the 3rd Chicago York somewher in that Santa's workshop of yours.... Speaking of Yorks, Dave Unland is still itching for his to be finished, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

I want to die at the age of 135-shot by a jealous husband.
