@ Curtis,
Just this morning, we had a clarinet labeled as "W. R. Yerke Paoli, Indiana" show up for repair. It looks like it has been in long-term storage. I was intrigued because my family is from the Paoli/West Baden/French Lick area of Indiana and had never heard of a clarinet being manufactured there. I'm familiar with "stencil" instruments and thought that this might be the case with this instrument. When I did a search for W. R. Yerke Paoli, Indiana, I stumbled onto this thread and was surprised to find someone connected to the Yerke family. I would be interested to learn more about the factory in Paoli such as location, years of operation, etc....
