i have just seen your message. i have a buffet made in 1951. taking the keys off the top joint to clean i saw 'r12' impressed into the wood. it is the only one i have ever heard. no mention on the net. i bought it from wichita band instrument company. it is in perfect condition with scarcely a mark on it. wichita silvered the keys. from the beginning it struck me as being somewhat different. diameter of the wood and ring keys slightly smaller, so it seems to me. the quality of the wood is first class and it has a beautiful tone - no surprise i suppose, for buffet owners.
