Buescher used bottom-sprung "Pin" valves in the Aristocrat and Aristocrat Custom Built horns. The valves have a small metal lug soldered to their tops; the lug - or "pin" - fits into a corresponding guide slot in the valve casings' inner wall.
Buescher usually stamped its horn's model number on the middle valve casing below the serial number, as seen here. Note the "LP" stamped there as well, for "Low Pitch", indicating the horn is made to play in American Concert Pitch where A = 440 Hz.
Note also the pre-War "True-Tone" logo stamped on the middle valve featuring a triangle, bell and tuning fork.
This horn hasn't been relacquered; that's wear from somebody's hand.
Note the nickel-silver bushing between the bell-tail and first valve case.
Another perspective on the tuning assembly's knurled locking ring. Note that this one is on backwards. The round part of the ring ought to be pointed towards the rear of the horn. It can't thread onto the tubing in this position.
I mean, it looks like it is owned by either an arrogant architect who custom-built it in the 80's, or it's home to a cocaine-addicted lawyer who picked this neighborhood for its total obscurity.

The first Custom Built models were engraved with "Aristocrat Custom Built". After the War Buescher seems to have dropped the "Aristocrat" and simply engraved Custom Built on horns. The sales literature of the '40s and '50s also refers to them as "Custom Built" model horns without reference to the Aristocrat models.
In 1967 the Ministry of Transport commissioned a fleet of seven custom-built Bedford vehicles to go around the country promoting British production techniques. Only one bus survives and it took the current owner Ollie Halls five years to retore the mobile cinema to it's pristine condition. The Vintage Mobile Cinema seats 22 in comfort and has a state-of-the-art HD digital projection unit. Above the cab there is ( for the 1960's ) a futuristic-looking clear Perspex dome.

This rather unusual car/truck was at the show, a rather nice looking pickup conversion on a Ford PInto, it seems to be a good quality job on the custom conversion...
