The band director of the local high school in Greenwich CT owns a King Giant (1270) from the mid-1930s which is used by the hs band when they need an extra horn. It's an excellent horn in very good condition. The sound can best be described as having the depth of a Conn 20K with the sweetness of a King 1250/2350 from what I've heard of it and the little I've played it. Intonation seemed ok, but I didn't check it with a tuner.
