I agree about the price. The going rate at flea markets is under $100. I paid $40 for a Bb that sounds quite a lot like yours, with the same type of logo, at Black Angus up in Pennsylvania, in 2000. Caveat: 2000 is awhile ago and this clarinet was in unplayable and seriously roached-out condition, in need of a full overhaul with thorough cleaning (case was disgusting), all pads, all corks and most of the springs. Mine is high-pitch, i.e. from the early 20th century. The serial number starts with a K. Without the K, the number would date it to 1928, but that's confusing, since according to serial number lists, the "K" numbers end with 999. So I don't really know what I've got, but I know I wouldn't have paid much more than I did pay, given the nasty condition.
