I have an opportunity to purchase an oboe for next to nothing. It is a Linton serial number N4940. I am told it is 55 years old. I have been trying to do some internet research on Linton oboes and I can't find much on Lintons, or a serial number database. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about old Linton oboes?

This will be my first oboe. I am a clarinet player. As of now, I am not looking to very seriously play oboe, just some fiddling around here and there and potentially play in a community band.

I have attached a picture below of the oboe. As I said, I am a clarinet player and don't know much about the key-work of oboes. Does the key-work appear to be sufficient?

Any advice or tips are appreciated!
