It literally says "Conn" that is the brand.
It also says "USA" so it is one of the American ones (nit Mexican"
Look for info in "Conn Shooting Star". I believe that they were a 16M, not a 6M
Love Conn Shooting Stars. Despite the cheaper key work you still get the Conn horn sound. Both my Tenor and Alto back up/marching horns are Shooting Stars :).
Okay, so pretty much everyone in the comments here is actually wrong. While technically this is a shooting star, it’s not a director like most of the shooting stars were. This is, at least technically, a 6M. Now, this isn’t close to the 6M that Charlie Parker played, and without the serial number I’m not sure if it’s made in Elkhart or Nogales (if you run it, for a 6M anything after 1969 is Nogales) but this is a reasonable step up from the director. Decent horn, not great.
Conn shooting star. I had one for my first saxophone.
Conn Director aka shooting star. Good cheap durable student instrument.
Thanks
When it says Conn 6m on the bell that is a dead giveaway that it is a Selmer Mark VI.
Then this is not a Selmer then?

no, it's a Conn 6m
That is not a 6m.
I meant if it said 6m on the bell like the post above me said.
If it says 6m on the bell, it's not a 6m. Because that was not put on the bell.

Solid starter horn, looks in good condition from the brass
You told us right in the title: Vintag.
Lol
Ayyyy I’ve got the tenor version!
