I purchased a King 4-valve Eb sousa a couple of months ago, had the valves replated, and did a little dent work. A short time later, I purchased a Conn 4-Valve Eb sousa. I find that the small wrap of the King makes it a little less comfortable for my 250 pound frame than the Conn. The serial number is 253010 (1940-41). Is there any interest?
