Recently I was given a "Noblet Paris" clarinet S# 42198 that was bought years ago in Ohio. I've Googled "Noblet Paris" and several variations there'of.. but am unable to find little if any real background information on it.
The barrel, upper & lower joint and bell have the letter "N" with a circle around it. Underneath is the name "Noblet" in big letters and then "Paris" in smaller letters under that. The upper and lower joints have the S# 42198 on them, while the upper joint has "Made in France" printed just above the octave key.
The instrument itself is in "A+" excellent condition. Obviously (after all these years), it's going to need pads.. but other than that, it still plays good, (well as good as I can play it!)
What I was looking to find out was:
Age/when it was manufactured.. What the original retail price might have been when bought.. What might be its worth today.. etc., etc.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

I had a very similar Noblet [Stubbins "pinch Bb" model] which dated to about 1965 via Stubbins book info, its now at NMM-Vermillion. I'll try to re-find its ser #. Don
