signet selmer clarinet serial number lookup

I would be glad to restore the instrument (and that would give me a chance to put a review and pictures on the web site). Try doing an advanced search on eBay, check “completed sales,” and search for “vintage clarinet.” I think you will see that if unrestored, you're looking at maybe a $30-50 value. (eBay prices are half of what you would expect to pay at a music store.) I have sold some restored French stencil instruments for as much as $224, but most of the time at less than $200. I won't be able to tell how well your instrument will play and what it worth without playing it. And, if you look at the vintage instruments I have reviewed, you will see that they vary widely in quality. I hate to tell you: Because the instrument is an odd brand, it won't sell well on eBay (which is where I sell instruments from time to time). Otherwise the music store would not have put that high a price on it. I assume that it is wood, being that old. It is definitely a French Stencil clarinet. I haven't had a chance to review one like it yet. Your Mom's clarinet is listed on the Vintage page, as I think you saw.

The first Selmer clarinets were made in 1890. Is there any kind of Selmer USA serial number list? All I can find is a Selmer France list. However, I have no idea what model it is, or how old it actually is. Well I have come across a nice, used Selmer USA clarinet. Selmer USA models are from lowest to highest model: Signet 100, Signet. Selmer USA began making (or selling) Manhatten metal clarinets and Manhatten wood clarinets in the 1920s and/or 1930s. The Selmer USA serial numbers for the forties, in the list that I have, show a gap between 30,000 (10/15/40) and 33,000 (6/1/47) presumably because of the war. There are some scratches, and one small ding on. It is in very good playable condition, no pads need to be replaced, no leaking, etc. I cannot seem to find reliable info on what model it is, or how much it is worth.
