Here are some photos of a clarinet I got from "shopgoodwill.com" The only identifying marks are; HENRY POURCELLE PARIS FRANCE" on the barrel and LP C on all the joints. No serial numbers. I believe it is a C clarinet because when I finger a C it plays C. It has probably the original wood mouthpiece (which is in good condition and plays well), the instrument itself is in very good condition with a shiny exterior and interior finish. the body barrel and mouthpiece are wood. The case as you can see in the photos is in poor condition. It is missing one pad, but when played most notes sound. As per the photos the keying is very early.
Any suggestions on the age of the clarinet or any other information? It's probably not a valuable antique, but I plan to re-pad it and play it. It appears to have been played very little, or at least very well taken care of. The case took the brunt of the passing of time.
