Play it, and see. Have some friends do a 'blind listening'. I have one of the ORIGINAL LL series Loree oboes, and it plays fine (made in 1921). It has always been well cared for, though. It is my backup oboe, but for years it was my primary. It DOES have a different sound than many oboes of today, but it is still most definitely an oboe with a fine sound. Some prefer it's sound to my modern Rigoutat. It is full conservatory, with left F, and doesn't have the rings that some older oboes do. Be sure and check for wear in the mechanism. Also, the mechanisms of older oboes can differ from modern ones. I took this oboe with me to an 'adjustment class' by Mr. Laubin at IDRS back in 1993, and he was fascinated by the mechanism. He gave me a few tips on how to adjust THIS one!
