It's most likely a "stencil", made by one of the big manufacturers and branded with the name of the sellers.
If you post pictures we can help identify it.
If it was made in Grand Rapids MI during the early 1900's it's a 'real' York and not a stencil.
An old guy that used to play in my community bad has a silver alto of similar age. It's a sweet little horn and your C Melody should play nicely once it's gone over.
The sax arrived yesterday. It needs new pads for sure, and a little adjustment. Overall, it's in good shape. I was able to get a few notes out of it, but a more than a few pads are in pretty bad shape. It's motivated me to get the Hardwood Pro Alto completed and off the bench, so I can get this one re-padded.
I finished the re-pad of the York. It's still on the work fixture, next step is the play test then adjustments and final cleaning.
It should play well..
"If" you ever get it apart again, I can polish and re-plate those silver keys for you......but it looks great with the new felts. I use the reds as well.
I may get at least the palm and side keys off and plated. I can do that myself, I just didn't in this case; a little too anxious to see how she played. I may put green felts on the Conn New Wonder II just to see how that looks.
