Description: Good condition, plays well, has very ornate engraving on the bell depicting stars and an image of an Indian chief. The perimeter of the bell also has ornate engraving. The serial number indicates that the horn was built in 1934.
The owner of this horn asserts that it is the one worn by Robert Wagner in the movie biography of John Philip Sousa, but I don't know how much stock to put in this claim.
What would the value of this Holton "Chief" BBb 3-valve raincatcher sousaphone be?
