Martin Tenor Saxophone

I was curious about a Martin I was looking into buying. It is off E-bay and the seller doesn't know much about the horn. It's listed as a Martin Tenor. The pictures are pretty bad so I can't get that much detail. It does appear to be in decent condition, no dents or anything, he says the cork and pads are decent but may need to be looked at. The Serial number is 26689and it has a silver finish. On the Bell is engraved "The Martin Elkhart Indiana." Does anyone know anything about this horn? What year is it? Is it a Tenor or C Melody? I can't tell from the pics, but the bell looks like it doesn't come as high as C Melody saxs I've seen, so perhaps it is a B flat Tenor. Where can I find a good source for vintage sax serial numbers? Every site I look through never has any serial numbers from saxs I'm looking to buy. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
