I have to agree with m1964. When looking for a high quality professional clarinet the era it was made can impact its value both to collectors and players. But for a CL300 I wouldn't even worry about it. Most manufacturers couldn't care less about vintage instruments and official serial number lists are rare and often incomplete at the best of times. As far as I know there are no Selmer USA lists for clarinet, and while it is sometimes possible to piece together information to get a date it's just not worth the effort for such an instrument. Just enjoy it for what it is regardless of when it was made.
