King Silver 4v BBb?

Post by prodigal »

Hello friends,

Does anyone able to do a quick model number on this King? Serial number 674063. The valve stems are NOT straight.

It has two upright bells and cases for everything. Can piston valve stems be straightened or replaced? Is it worth saving?

Thanks!

Upright bells are NOT easy to find.

You've found two. :smilie7:
