Early Martin Saxophones are popular with vintage saxophone collectors because of their high quality sound and their handsome looks. If a collector or a website refers to "The Martin" saxophone, that means it had "The Martin" engraved on the saxophone's bell, and the type of sax (baritone, tenor, alto, etc.) engraved above.
Martin saxophones made up to the late 1960s are particularly prized by collectors. One model in particular is the Master "Typewriter" baritone sax, whose keys resembled typewriter keys, and which was known for a rich, full sound quality. In the 1930s Martin made the Master series, the Handcraft series, which included the Handcraft Imperial and the Handcraft Troubadour. Models introduced in the late 30s and early 40s had names like Lion and Crown, Searchlight, and Sky-line.
The official Music Man came along in the 1960s, around the same era as the Magna. These were all professional models, and all still have their loyal fans. Martin did make student saxophones, too. You can tell if a Martin saxophone is a student model if it is an Imperial, Indiana, or Medalist. These are good saxes too, just not as highly coveted as the professional models.
In 1961, Martin was merged with two other instrument manufacturers, Reynolds and Blessing. These Martins have a "RMC" marking. In 1964, Wurlitzer bought the trademarks, copyrights, engineering records, tools, and patents that had belonged to Martin. Rights were sold again in 1971 to a French company called LeBlanc. They use the Martin trademark on Yanigasawa built saxophones.
Martin saxophones, while they are fine instruments, do not seem to have the mythology built up around them the way the Bueschers and Yamahas do. But that doesn't mean they're any less deserving of a good reputation. But their lack of prominence in the vintage market can make them - particularly the early "Typewriter" models - good buys for vintage collectors. There aren't as many of these as there are of Bundys and Yamahas, so their rarity adds to their relative value as vintage instruments.
Laura writes about her interest in the King Saxophone and the Selmer Saxophone.

Vintage Dita: The Early Fetish Years $34.27 "Vogue "magazine named her the queen of the burlesque revival, and "Vanity Fair" calls her a burlesque superheroine. She's integral to the underground fetish scene, yet she's front and center at every buzzed-about fashion show. Today's Bettie Page has transcended such cultural barriers with her astonishing grace, class, and artistry. This timeless vintage portfolio shows Dita von Teese when her rise to celebrity status was just a heartbeat away. Revealing a side to Dita that is well-known to the public, this book explores her fetish for corsets (she has more than 100 tailor-made ones) and her fetish for shoes ("I never leave home without my high heels on"), as well as other fetishes such as bondage and latex. The stunning front cover image of the 25th issue of "Marquis" magazine is included, featuring Dita painted from top to toe in silver. These stylish, sultry images are a fitting tribute to the early modeling days of a truly smart and sexy icon. |

Early and Vintage Years 1886-1930: The Golden Era of Coachbuilding $7.04 This series documents the fascinating history of the automobile between 1930 and the present day. Abundant photographs and superb drawings show the most beautiful and those that are long since forgotten--a grand tour ranging from brilliant fiasco to worldwide success. Here you can read of elegant limousines from the Thirties, discrete vehicles from the postwar period, minicars of the Fifties, and the onset of the horsepower mania. The Sixties gave us both big and small cars, wonderful sports cars, ugly and practical cars, and the ones with fins. Then came Japanese cars and, in the early Seventies, the oil crisis. This was the end for American muscle-cars, but the Eighties brought supercars that outdid anything the world had yet seen. During the Nineties, cars became ever safer, more economical, and faster. We began to navigate with the help of satellites, while the market for Multi Purpose and Sport Utility Vehicles simply exploded. All these and more developments are highlighted in this exciting volume, making it a must for every library |
