Cundy Bettoney Ebonite Clarinet

Author: Julita414

So my fiancé’s mom found an old Cundy Bettoney ebonite three star clarinet (made in USA) and gave it to us. It’s serial is 4106, I can’t find any info on these at all! I don’t know if I’m just not searching the right words, but I’m only finding their metal versions. It also had a selmer case for some reason. Can any help me with when it could have been made, worth, anything? It’s getting very frustrating.

I did a Google search for "cundy bettoney history" and these, to me, are the best of the results:

Here's an old ad for Cundy Bettoney wooden clarinets:

If it has the original mouthpiece, it MAY be a gem....

As far as we know, everything is original! Can’t find the serial number and a single sight had an advertisement for ebonite, not wood or metal.
