[Trombone-l] info on a King 2B Liberty

[Patrick & Lisa Bates]

I'll back this up. My late 30's Symphony model king has the same number on
all three pieces, while my later 2103/3B has three different numbers. My
70's 6B has matching 4 digit numbers on the slide, with a longer number on
the bell section. I think the 3B has mixed up parts?? Bought it on the bay,
probably an old school horn....
