I saw that one at auction, not too bad a price, upper joint needs crack repair right? It's probably later than 1890, since that's when I believe country of origin label laws came into being applying to the US, and probably later than 1914, since the "Made in" qualifier was required at that point. However, they came even earlier for England in 1887, so I don't know if Buffet labeled all export instruments, I'll have to check all mine again to see which say what. Anyway, it should have a serial number since it 's almost certainly made 1885 or later, which is when I understand they started serial numbers.
