Wood Bundy, circa 1964? It had some sheet music in the case and the piece with the latest date was 1964, and a two-tone case. Could be older than 1964. Says "Bundy, Made By Selmer, Elkhart Indiana" with a decal on the bell and "Bundy" on the lh section with a decal again. Not impressed with the decals on a clarinet, but these still look nice at least.

Nice looking wood. The barrel is so shiny and dense that at first I thought it was plastic and not original to the clarinet, but I think the shine is mostly due to some kind of very thin finish on the wood? Bore on the lh section is about 14.8mm at both ends. Pad cups have a flat surface on the underside, not conical like most clarinets.

It will be overhauled soon.
