Pretty beat, but dirt cheap. Local pickup only.

Looks more like a King to me. But... still a steal.

Blessing and King must have either had a close relationship of their engineers/designers skipped back and forth. The King 1140 and the Blessing B450 looked so much alike that one would have thought the parts would interchange. They also had marching versions of the same horns with virtually the same marching leadpipes.

Blessing had a good student line. Sorry to see them gone.

And it's gone. Not surprising given the price.
