I have a couple Gold Plated Conn New Wonder Portrait models, with full ladies in the buff, or near. You can see them at my website, www.worldwidesax.com. One is for sale on the "altos" page and one is part of my personal collection, on the bottom of the "Our finest works" page. One lady is skinny dipping, the other is in her slip, having a big drink of champagne. These saxes are a joy to see and play.

Thank you for your answer. Maybe I've not specified that I meant a tenor one. But I would really find the saxman who buyed that tenor I saw on E-bay sometimes ago. Thank you again.

95+ per cent of the Full Lady engraved, bright gold finish Conns are altos, with many of the rest being C melodies. The reason is simple. The fancy horns appealed mostly to soloists, and the tenor wasn't much of a solo instrument till the end of the 20s.
