Other weird and rare models: Reso-tones-search the Holton section-some good info and pics in there. Here's a 666-pretty rare-even with the fancy silver and copper metal, still marked "Collegiate" Their engraving was sometimes a large globe.
A lot of the numbered models were just identified by their number, as far as I know, aside from the kinda rare 400-series horns (the alto is a 465, the Bari is a 480) which did have a name, the "Ideal". There were older Collegiates too, very similar to the "Revelations" (Revelations are usually called "Elkhorns" by non Holton folks, as that's all that's really engraved on them, other than a design.) Those Collegiates will also be clearly marked by engraving on the bell. The 566/666 (altos) and 576 (tenors) were indeed Collegiates-they will have a large "Collegiate" engraving on the bell.
We then correlate those with old ads in many cases (i.e., the 234/Stratodyne). Aside from the early models (Beauforts and early Revelations) without a model number, the number will be stamped right above the serial number.
