Oscar Adler & Co. Tenor Saxophone...

[Sterling Archer]

I recently purchased an Oscar Adler & Co. tenor saxophone. I was wondering if I posted up some pictures and the serial number (66xx), if someone might have an idea of the build year. From digging around online, the "Gloria" sounds like it was a standard model. That's about all I could find (that was after translating several pages from German to English with an online translator). Thank you for your time.

I would be happy to pass on any information that you might be able to provide.

Von graben rund um online, des "Gloria" klingt wie ein standard Modell. Das war alles, was ich finden konnte (das war nach der Übersetzung von Deutsch auf Englisch mehrere Seiten mit einem online Übersetzer). Danke, dass Sie sich Zeit genommen haben.

Hello John,

your saxophone may be from the 1950th. “Gloria” was one of the middle class models of the Adler factory.

Please look here for further information:

Ladwig, Uwe: Saxofone, Wahlwies 2011, p. 128-135.
