1930s rosewood Buffets?

Does anyone know of rosewood Buffet clarinets being made before WWII? I have a 21xxx with an unusual light color (not "dried out") and especially glossy finish. Thanks.

It’s probably Cocuswood. I have one as well, beautiful instrument. Hold onto it, Cocuswood is heavily regulated and hard to get so they won’t be making any more.

Oh that is very beautiful!!! Who made the tone hole extension? (I assume it goes between lower joint and bell)

Yes that’s correct. I made it myself to fix a flat clarion B.
