What would be a fair price for a 1960 CC 5U 186. It will be in bare brass and plays VERY WELL. It will include a very stout shipping trunk and a BBb tuning crook that came with the horn. I was told this vintage has a bigger lead pipe than later models. . . it sounds BIG! I am the second owner and I’m considering some restoration work on the instrument to bring it up to speed. The work will be minor dent removal and rework the rotor bushings. I mainly need price info for my estate. I’ll most likely keep the horn till they carry me out in the case. Thanks for any input. Tim
