Here is the text, really funny, surely written by a "spaetzliast". Have fun. (the instrument in question is one of these right handed piston valved alto-horns).
""You are bidding on a Silvered Tenor Cor, also known as a Horn in F, Mellophone or English Horn. It looks just like a French Horn, but faces the opposite way, with easier fingering. It is marked Alliance Lefleur J.R. Lafleur & Sons Ltd London. Paris New York Foreign Imported By Boosey & Hawkes London 11969. It has a few minor dints, but nothing that seriously affects the tone. The serial number is 513381. This is one of the instruments we are selling for our band, as we no longer need them, but we do need the space, there is no mouthpiece, but these are not expensive to buy. This Horn would be ideal for a beginner in so much as it will not be expensive compared with other instruments This was an instrument played by the Norths Leading Tenor Cor player, who has now sadly left the band, and we can't find another player to replace him. For those of you into DIY, you could turn it into a very nice lamp, as seen on a recent Changing Rooms. It comes with a hard case, which is not in perfect condition, but does the job. If you have any questions, then please just ask.
