G. M. Bundy Paris Wood Clarinet

I recently purchased a G. M. Bundy Clarinet. Just trying to find some information on it. The serial number is 645. Wondering what year it was made and what level of playing it may be? Would appreciate any information.

As I recall (perhaps slightly incorrectly) they date from the early 1930s, from when George M. Bundy was a V.P. of Selmer -- he had some clarinets made in Paris with his name on them. They are essentially identical to the Selmer-Paris model of that time (Balanced Tone? Centered Tone? I can't remember). These are good-playing clarinets, I've restored two of them in the past.
