Blessing standard?

Hi all,

short question:
I became a bit curious when I saw an older Blessing tenor that I had not seen before.
On the bell it says "Standard E.K. Blessing Elkhart", bell diameter is 190mm according to the seller, see pictures below.

Do you by any chance know this model?
Is it a predecessor of the student model (Scholastic?) or their approach on a more "professional" small jazz trombone?
If it's not on the student end - any experience or impressions? Comparisons with other models?

Would be great to get your feedback,
thanks

I have one of these- it's an old student model. Bit nicer than the Scholastic, but still meant for beginners, mostly.

Great, thanks!

That's good news as it means I will not spend any money on it ;-)
