 Would anyone know what vintage an R-13 numbered 119xxx would be?

 Hi: 
The instrument was made in 1971 probably. 
Check it out at:

 Also you can go to http://www.musictrader.com/buffet.html  . 
 
 
This is the best Serial Number list that I have seen and I use it all of the time when cataloging Buffet clarinets at America's Shrine to Music Museum (Now known as the National Music Museum).  Enjoy! 
 
Oh Yeah- and according to the list on the page above, it says that your clarinet is from 1971-1972. See it for yourself!
