 How old is this eefer?

Just curious as to how old my Bundy Eb clarinet might be (I bought it used, obviously). It's a resonite model, serial no. #144. I figure it must be pretty old, given the 3 digit serial, but it plays great (surprisingly well, in fact, for being plastic and also for being an eefer).

FWIW--the Bundy line of Selmer clarinets was initiated around 1955ish about the same time the movie, "THE BENNY GOODMAN STORY", starring Steve Allen as BG was in the theatres. Originally, the Bundy Resonite was touted to a semi pro level clarinet and I seem to remember stories of some major symphony players trying them at the pro level. Your three digit Eb is probably vintge stock, but "age" doesn't seem to matter with these Bundys--they all are remarkably decent playing effers.
