It is probably more than 65 years old. Albert systems pretty much had died out in this country by 1930 plus the case style (if original) is of an earlier period.

Dave - I agree US made [eagle], but I have a 1920?[Boehm] C by Conn with the same eagle and a Pupeschi-Conn 1895? with somewhat-similar keywork, wrap-around register, trill keys, doubled F/C pads. BUT not the [Boehm-type] ring for 3rd finger left hand fork Eb/Bb!! Looks to me like a "cross-over" model between Albert-Mueller and Boehm, at the turn-of-century. Vytas, I'll bet that Debbie Reeves at the Shrine to Music Museum , Vermillion, SD would like for you to will it to her for inclusion in their Conn history [I gave an early Eb Alto cl]. Give us a serial no, we may be able to date more precisely. Interesting, Don

Don,...
I just won this clarinet today and had no chance to look at it yet. I also remember seeing the same eagle on the older clarinet but I wasn’t sure if it was Conn or B&H.
Thanks.
Vytas

The problem we're going to have with the eBay pics and links is that they'll be dead in a relatively short period of time, confusing people later when they go and look through this thread.

The barrel shown with the Eagle is a C.G. CONN.....wish I had it. It matches the bell of an old CONN I have,....
