Way Cool 1920s Photo of Buescher Saxophone Factory Workers

[Rackety Sax]

This isn't my auction, but I thought this was a really cool 1928 vintage photo from the Buescher factory's Finished Saxophone Department (http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-Photos-Buescher-Band-Instrument-Co-Elkhart-In_W0QQitemZ7359682441QQcategoryZ16214QQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem).

Excellent.

So...was that Boosher, Buusher or Bissher?! :twisted:

I personally say it's Byoosher for the same reason that Mueller is Myooller.

Sorry guys, I wasn't trying to suck you in; just making a joke. There was a three-page discussion on this topic. Of course, if one is new one wouldn't know that. Anyway, to save anyone else time, here's the original I was referring to: http://www.saxontheweb.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25540
