I don't recall ever finding a model number on that horn. My teacher told me that it was probably from the 1930's or 40's. The bell and bows were quite similar to the current 2341s, although the bell was a bit wider and lower. The valves, though, were wrapped much differently. The third valve tubes were very close and extended unusually far toward the bottom of the horn; if I leaned forward more than slightly, the end of the slide would hit the chair. This is quite different from any modern 3-valve King that I've seen.
