i came across a case with 2 clarinets in it, one is a selmer that the serial number tells me, as far as i can tell, is from 1934/35. i was wondering though if there is anyplace i can find any more info about this clarinet such as model.
The other clarinet is more of a mystery, it is wood, and appears to be about the same age, but all that is stamped on it is "made in france" and the serial number : "2998C" . If anyone has any idea how i could find out some more info about this clarinet it would be very helpfull.
thanks.

I have a 1932 Selmer F B [20/7], marked with an "R I", meaning their "Radio Improved" model. Its possibly a transitional model, from "my" 1924 FB [now given to USD/NMM, Vermillion], which they identified as a Model 20, I believe, to their more popular Model 9. There is some Sel. history available on line, but NMM seems to have the best. I also have a V G Centered Tone model, and friends have the several Model 10's . While many makers put "Made in France" on their cls, Leblanc/Noblet and Buffet/Evette etc are possibilities for your "no-name". Continue searching here ! Luck, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

on the selmer there is also a *B T* on it under the selmer logo, i thought that was maybe the initials of the original owner so i didn't really take notice of it....could that be a model?
