Who can help w/identifying/age/$value/historical significance of the
following clarinets?

1. Pan American Case-smaller case; instrument has standard joints,
however, in the case the bell/lower joint stay together; upper
joint/barrell stay together; wood instrument; no serial numbers or
manufacture labels can be found on instrument; Upper joint has 3 index
finger side keys; Lower joint has 2 LH & 2 RH pinky keys; No Thumb ring;
Wrap around register key w/venting tube coming outside of wood.

2. Metal; Cleveland #T790 (sentimental value-In 1966 my band director
found it in school storage and was the the clarinet I began on for 1 1/2
years until I got my first "black" clarinet like the other kids). Is there
an economical process to shine the metal up?

3. Buffet R13 #96365; manufactured 1967-according to Sneezy; excellent
condition. What is approximate $resale/street/newspaper selling price?
