There are many requests on this list for information on some dusty old
instrument made by the XYZ company. There is a book available albeit
somewhat expensive titled The New Langwill Index: a Dictionary of
Musical Wind-Instrument Makers and Inventors. The author is W.R.
Waterhouse. It is available at Tony Bingham's in London.

I believe the book was about $100, but perhaps it is available from some
library interloan program. It lists a lot of manufacturers, when and where
they were in business and also what dates they changed their names such as
Boosey and Son's from 18xx-19xx and then changed to Boosey and Hawkes.
It does not contain information about particular instruments or serial
numbers as I recall.
