Selmer Cigar Cutter

The Selmer "Cigar Cutter" is the name used to describe certain saxophones that were produced by the Selmer Company between 1930 and 1933. A cigar cutter saxophone will have a serial number ranging from 11951 to 18700 stamped on the side of the bell. They were officially part of the Selmer Super Sax (SSS) line, but were named for a uniquely designed octave mechanism that resembled a cigar cutter.[1]
