Peter Hurd would definitely be the one to answer your question...but I do know a couple of things that might help...

I know that he manufactured clarinets primarily, and that he was the son of Eugene, who was responsible for the development of the Albert fingering system on clarinets. I have seen photos of some Jacques Albert instruments (sax, clarinet and oboe) as old as 1880, and definitely up to WWII. So the instrument is likely to be fairly old.

I believe the clarinets were known for their high quality of manufacturing and solid intonation. It was probably a good horn when it was first manufactured, and how it has weathered the years will determine how it still plays now.
