Well, my plastic Fox oboe is one I bought from Ebay about 3 years ago. Its serial number dates it to 1975 and it just has something like 'Renard Fox' on the bell. There is no LH F. I assume it's a Fox 333 - if they were around in 1975.

I must admit to being impressed. It's obviously very well made and I only had to change a few pads and adjust some screws.

The grenadilla RIEC is brand new and so the keywork is very light and responsive. Afer warming up, the tone is much nicer than than the Fox.

So I'm comparing an old basic student plastic model with a new wooden oboe that's still being 'broken in'.
