From the collection of Ron Fabec:

Ron is a good friend and colleague- who has similar tastes in brass instruments as I do.. In fact, we often have to collaborate on a particularly juicy items on eBay so we don't end up bidding against each other!!  These are a few of his prized acquisitions:

Above is a US Civil War era (1860-1865) Alto in Eb with "Berlinner Pumpen" valves common to the period.


Above and below is an Alto with American string operated rotary valves from the US civil War period
