According to the souces: Hans deNijs, well known here in this forum , and Dr. Enrico Weller:
http://forum.museum-markneukirchen.de/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3610&p=13765&hilit=Seriennummern+f%C3%83%C2%BCr+Uebel+Klarinetten#p13765
the serial number of this F.A. Uebel- clarinet indicates that it was made before 1943 (the time frame given by my own instruments is: #8642 from 1936 and #11313 from about 1950). The F.A.Uebel clarinets made from 1936 to 1963 (ca.#6000 to #17800) are still highly esteemed. After F.A.'s death in 1963 and, not much later, nationalization, quality rapidly deteriorized.
My own F.A. Uebels came with their original mouthpieces, one hard rubber, the others wood, signed: „F. ARTHUR UEBEL MARKNEUKICHEN“.
The „LEBÜ“ brand was used by G.Rudolf Uebel, nephew and successor of F.A., still in GDR times till about 1980.
