An elderly relative of mine has given me two old instruments to sell for him. The first one is an Armstrong piccolo. The only markings I can find are the name with Elkhart under it and the number C4271. I would like to knew the age and if it has any value. The other is a Buescher Silver Clarinet 1927 W/tunable barrel. Serial number is 234835 along with True Tone on the under side. I have very little experience at this type of thing. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the Piccolo wood or plastic ???? and the headjoint too wood or metal ???? Oh cool the clarinet is a great one you could get more once you restore it like the last post said. I would like too see picture of the piccolo too

Photos Will be coming shortly. Thanks

Too late now, but as a general rule don't give full serial numbers away on the internet. Some !*****! could try and get a hold of it claiming that it was stolen (how'd THEY know the serial, then, huh?)

Do something like 234***

I believe the Piccolo was made around 1965.
