Yes, Conn is one of the oldest brands out there and one in good condition can go for some good money. Though pricing strongly depends on the condition and model.
By the color, obviously. NIckel plated flutes are slightly golden and well, silver plated, they have silver color.
Depending on who makes them and their quality, they are made from either silver, nickel, or nickel-plated base metal.
Flutes may be made of sterling silver, although most are made of brass and plated with either silver or nickel-silver. Flutes can also be made of wood, but that is no longer common. Saxophones and metal clarinets have also been made of brass and plated in silver. This was the most common finish in the early years of the saxophone (into the 1920's and 30's) before better lacquers were developed.
The JodyJazz ESP is a 24kt Gold-Plated metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece for Tenor Sax will appeal to the Straight Ahead player looking for the best.
No they just look cooler and most band or orchestra directors won't let you use one because they are distracting.
Are you sure it's nickel and not chrome?
100 or so
No, and there likely was never a nickel plated one, either.
the colt trooper is currently going for 165-350 dollars.You could add 15% because yours is nickel plated(not chrome).
It could very likely be chrome plate instead of nickel. Chrome was a new invention and for some reason a lot of returning GIs had their souveniers plated. This reduces the value to collectors by at least 50%.
Do not pay more than $100USD for one. Even if it is chrome or nickel plated.
brand new it would be worth 750$.
It's likely to be chrome or nickel plated and is very common but it don't add to the value.
Faucet fixtures are often plated with the element nickel and brushed for a smooth, silvery finish. They can be plated with other elements as well, like chromium resulting in a shiny, chrome finish.
They usually run around the $500 range, depending on the condition.....Tom Fuller, Castle Rock, Wa. -- Never Chrome Plated -- The S&W "Safety Hammerless" which is commonly referred to as the Lemon Squeezer was never originally chrome plated. Nickel, yes, but never chrome. If yours is in fact chrome plated it will be worth about $150 tops. These guns are rarely found in the excellent condition required to bring $500. Typical selling price for one of these guns in typical condition is around $350. sales@countrygunsmith.net
