I picked this up today after searching Craig`s List for a change.
It`s a 1976 Silver Plated 36B - A Closet Horn.
The owner played in High School then quit
Decided it was time to let go. Plays like a dream
When I got home I tried a couple mouthpieces and Meh?
Maybe I got a dud.
Then I put a Pickett 7D in and It lit up like a Christmas tree.
Some times you just get lucky

That is lovely.

Nice

It may be distortion in the photos but the bell stem doesn’t look parallel to the slide.

BarryDaniels, It`s the photo. This horn looks like it was made yesterday except where the Left hand holds the horn

Congratulations! I've been looking into getting a 36B - considering downsizing from my 42 but I do want the valve. Looks like a winner.

I have noticed this phenomenon with cell phone optics before. I haven’t figured out the optics. I believe if the is not in the same vertical plane as rhe object being photographed, lines that should be parallel are no longer parallel.

Converging verticals; a common issue. The fact that the typical phone camera lens is on the wide angle side makes the effect more pronounced.
Here's an article talking about it:

Yes. The common 35mm fish eye lense photo made the horizon into a gentle frowning parabola. On the other hand, holding iphones “level” can result in many pictures of feet, instead of the intended sublect.

rudytbone - There is a Silver 36B for in Akron, Ohio on Craigslist

Craigslist has become unusable for buying horns. 90% of the posts are scams. There’s a post of my 3BF right now, every listing I’ve seen is a scam, giving me the same contact info

Glad to hear it’s just photo distortion.

Hi John. That 36 looks like a pretty good price. Maybe too good, eh?

Would definitely want to get my hands on it to try before buying.
