Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Based on the photographs and information provided, the subject of this appraisal is a King 3B Trombone with an F attachment assembly, circa 1960s or early 1970s. The composition is brass. The piece includes a locking case. The trombone's serial number is not noted from the photographs.

Condition of the trombone based on photographs shows light play-wear and light lacquer wear above the F trigger noted in the description from the current owner. There are no dents or dings apparent in the photographs.

Based on recorded sales of comparable trumpets in similar condition in recent online auction settings, 3B trombones that have sold at auction within the past decade, and factoring in the inclusion of the F attachment assembly, Fair Market Value (a pre-auction estimate) of the piece is estimated at $1,000 to $1,200.
