Grafton saxophone
The Grafton saxophone was a plastic saxophone manufactured by the Grafton company from the late 1940s through to the mid 1950s. Graftons are now collectors' items. It was most famously played by Charlie Parker. The Grafton saxophone that Parker couldn't pawn to support his heroin addiction was sold at the Christie's auction house in London in September 1994 for £93,500 sterling. The buyer was the mayor of Parker's home town, Kansas City, Kansas.
