Year built? Paperwork?

I don't know the year it was built and I do not have the paperwork.

If you're going to make a comment like this , you need to know and say why you think it's fake. For the record, it's not a fake. Just saying.

Y'all thought he was being serious?  He's poking at some of the call certification experts. Ya know, the ones calling calls questionable when they have no knowledge of the truth.

Yes, I did think he was serious. Do not know the member or the inside joke. I do know the lister and he is a close, personal friend with a top shelf reputation. So yeah, I took it serious and even jokes with no context can hurt the sell of the item.

It's an early Buice, it would help the sale to know the year. Maybe reach out to Critter, he seems to be the authority now on all things Buice.

Good luck with the sale.

It was made in 2022-23 is what I was told from the original owner.

Oh look another joke!

There are several members on this forum far more knowledgeable than that used car salesman.

That would makes sense as he stopped signing the bell around that time and just numbering. A few of the first odd not have anything but maybe a piece of paper with a signature, then he made a card that had the information.

I think this is correct from what I saw as I did not buy one during this timeframe. Please correct me if someone see something inaccurate in this.

Time wise it definitely seems right as Billy made me a Buckeye Burl trumpet around that time. I didn't receive a certificate from him at that time, so it reminds me to call and ask him about it.

I have some calls from Mr Billy that are not signed, only numbered, and came with a letter of authenticity. They are all made within the last 2-3 years. I believe, as mentioned, that he started sending the letters when he quit signing them.

Yes, it's recently made. He stopped signing the inside of the bell on some of his calls I think because it's hard for him to do it now.
He does send paperwork with these newer calls that corresponds to the number with information about the call and signature. You should ask the guy you got it from for that paperwork.

I bought that from an individual and am selling it for what I have in it. And, I never sold a Buice on EBay. I believe you have me confused with someone else.
