I've been asked by one of my band mates (a reed player) to evaluate a Rudy Muck Model 97 trombone that he snagged at a garage sale. It's a silver-plated horn with a gold wash bell. There is a slide lock but the receiver is a friction fit. Condition-wise, playable. One of the slide tubes is missing a lot of chrome from the stocking. It has 2 mouthpieces and an original case. The MPs are an Arthur Pryor Model ?? and an IDEAL from Holland. Are these things worth anything?

Rudy Muck was best known for mouthpieces. I had a Rudy Muck 23 that came with an ancient Olds trombone (I sold the mouthpiece on to a guy whose trombone and Rudy Muck mouthpiece were stolen).

I think Muck may have had trombones made by somebody else who put his name on them.

I hope another old timer would know more.
