If the serial is 214X, the X might just be to show that they accidentally made two with the same serial, which would put it in the 1880s. ...Maybe that's it? I have no idea how Buffet's practices for any messing up of serials went. And perhaps 19C was the model number? Anyone have an old Buffet/E&S Catalog who can check?
Also Chris, I think you're confusing the rolled tonehole patent from Haynes (link to a copy: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1119954 ) that is seen on Conn and Buescher Saxes (and maybe Haynes flutes? I don't know, I'm not a flutist and haven't looked at a 1920s Haynes. The Buescher Tenor about 3 feet away from me mentions the patent, at least.)
