Hi folks, long time since I've lurked around these pages!
I'm curious about an older D. Noblet clarinet that I haven't been able to date based on serial number lists. It has a 4 digit number, so either it's long before 1960 or else perhaps an obscure model that had a different numbering system? It's kitted out with brown leather pads, and has shared posts for the throat keys. Here are pictures of the emblem, keywork and case. Any thoughts on it's age?

Looks as could well be pre 1960.
The logo is a very old style and the trill key pattern is also old, it was changed to it's current/last inline form many years ago.
