Age of my clarinet...

Hello,

My name is Margaret. I realize that you likely get many requests regarding the age of instruments, but I have looked for years to find the age of mine to no avail, so please be patient.

I've been playing my clarinet for 10 years now. It plays well. I bought it used. The person who sold it was a dealer, and not a clarinet player. It appears to be wooden, and the finish has worn off of the keys.

On the barrel and the bell, it has a Normandy crest and no other identifiers. The letters Normandy protrude beyond the confines of the crest on the left and right sides, on these crests and all of the crests I'm going to mention.

The upper joint has a Normandy crest too, with a '4' in the confines of the crest, above the Normandy letters. This crest is at the top, front of the joint. On the back of it, at the top, it says Made in France and at the bottom, at the back of it is the number 7668.

The lower joint has a Normandy crest identical to the one on the upper joint, but located at the bottom, front of the joint. On the back, also at the bottom, is the same number, 7668. Directly below this, is the Made in France lettering.

There are no other identifying marks on it.

I've found some websites with serial numbers for Normandys, but all of them had 5 digit serial numbers, and, as you can see, mine only has four digits, so I was unable to find anything out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Margaret
