(1951) when my Dad bought it for me from a jazz clarinetist for $90.

I didn't see the original message to which Oliver seems to be
referring, but I own a Penzel-Mueller E-flat. I found it in
a music store in Astoria, Oregon, when I was there on vacation
in 1990, and picked it up for $175. It's not in the best shape;
there is lots of play in the keywork, and one local repairman
refused to work on it because he only enjoys working on high-
quality instruments. (No, it wasn't Clark!) But it serves me
well for my limited Eb needs (most recently the Mahler 3rd).
