Dear Mr. Mark Charette:
I am an assistant curator at the National Music Museum. I am currently compiling the information that the Museum has on the C. G. Conn Company into a database. I came across your information about the Pan American "Violin Finish" Clarinet. According to the brochures, flyers and price lists that we have this light colored violin finish for wood clarinets first was started in the Spring of 1950 and the last mention of it is in January 18, 1954.
Here are my sources.
Pan American "The Baton" Newsletter, Spring 1950. Lists "Violin Finish" Clarinet Model 68N for $120.00.

Listed as a new item in the C. G. Conn, Ltd. Annual Report to Stockholders for the Year Ending April 30, 1950.

Mentioned in December 1951, June 8, 1953 and January 18, 1954 price lists.

I hope this information is of some assistance to you.

Take care and keep playing,
Micky Rasmussen
