A few years ago I found a claranet an my grandmothers house took it home and played it without any repair. a few days ago some screw came out and I got it replaced today the guy who was talking to me said it was really rare and I should hold on to it. this is the link to the pictures that I have if you have any info on the 1-10 series i would like 2 hear it

How strange. You link doesn't appear to have any clarinet photos. I suspect your model is a 1010 and not a 1-10 as you put it.

If it's plastic with nickel plated keys, it's a Series 1-10 and the same as a Regent and not rare at all, but still a good instrument.

If it's wooden with silver plated keys and smooth socket rings (and several other significant details that are too numerous to mention), it's a 1010 - and the 1010s have rod screws throughout in the mechanism, not the small pivot screws like most clarinets (including the lower order B&H clarinets).

That's a 1-10 from the '60s - do you know the serial number? If so, check it against this list to see what year it was made: http://www.clarinetperfection.com/clsnBH.htm

That's from 1965 - I had a 2-20 from 1965 with the number 234701 so this one isn't that far off (taking into consideration all the various instruments B&H were making at the time from flutes right down to BBb basses).
