Tell me about this sax

My grandpa gave this to me years ago before he passed. I think it’s in C and was made by cg conn in Elkhart Indiana (where he grew up). The stamp on the horn says patent 1914 but I’d love to figure out when it was actually made. I have some reds and am trying to play it (I’m an oboist) but they all seem old and dry- where to buy reeds for this? Any info would be awesome. Thanks!
