The oldest clarinet I own is a boxwood C J. Wallis & Son clarinet in C, made between 1884-1891. It's a Victorian replica of a Mozart-era clarinet. I also have a pair of Buffets made in 1921. The oldest clarinets I play regularly are a Buffet in A made in 1931 and a Buffet in Bb from 1937.
My oldest cornet is a C. G. Conn from late 1910 or early 1911. I play like a pig on cornet, alas.
Almost all of my saxophones are older than I am. My oldest sax is a Buescher "True-Tone" C-Melody made between 1915-1920. The ones I play regularly are a 1924 King Saxello soprano (a prototype, made the year before King officially introduced the model), a "Grand Opera" C-Melody (a stencil, made by C. G. Conn in the 1920s), a 1928 C. G. Conn alto , an American Selmer "Modele 22" probably from the mid-1920s, a 1926 C. G. Conn tenor, a 1951 Martin "Committee" tenor and a 1926 C. G. Conn bass.
