Greetings. I'm heartened to see Someone else with a wooden Buescher True Tone clarinet. I have the same model with the "Buescher True Tone" logo only on the bell.
After much research I've determined it is the model 780 as the more expensive model 782 has logos on all sections (per photos online). The 783 and 784 were even more expensive than the 782 and therefore, based on Buescher's description of those being given more detail, I assume they too have logos on all sections. A photo I found in an online brochure of the 780 had the logo on the bell only, but regardless, carries a quality build.
It appears this wooden clarinet first appeared in 1935, and I could find no resources of its manufacturing after 1959, so it doesn't appear to be a Selmer, though possibly a Conn stencil? My True Tone has a 5-digit serial number (10xxx).
