Not junk. They're a good student sax, but vary depending on their age. the Aristocrat line was introduced by Buescher in the 1930's as a professional instrument. By the time Selmer bought Buescher in 1963, designs had advanced and the 'crats were considered intermediate instruments. Selmer continued to use the Buescher tooling for some time but hasn't for some decades. More recent instruments are made in Taiwan, and I don't know whether they have anything in common with the old 'crats, but they are still considered good student saxes.

Is The 1948 Beuscher Aristocrat a good trumpet?

In 1963, Selmer bought the Buescher company and after that the Aristocrat became a student horn. Prior to that, though, there was the Buescher TrueTone, which was their top-of-the-line horn, and the step right below that was the Aristocrat, a very nice professional horn. I myself own an Aristocrat from 1963 just before the buyout, and I love it. It's comfortable, the valves move great, and depending on the mouthpiece, it's a great horn for any type of playing and timbre.
