Can anyone advise me as to the age and possilbe restored value of a Cabart A Paris clarinet with a serial number that appears to be "DD 239"?

Thanks!

I'd guess 1960-ish vintage, and restored value is probably about the cost of overhauling it. The Cabart was a student/intermediate clarinet and plays accordingly (not to be confused with playing accordion).

Kurt, has this one got metal lined sockets?

I used to think the (pre-Loree) Cabart logo was a hedgehog, but it's a tall ship.

Chris- Yes, it does appear to have metal lined sockets. Is that good?
