Jerome Thibouville Lamy Clarinet

[Bromisko]

In a search for a Clarinet for my daughter to play in Marching Band I came across this beautiful old clarinet for $10 at a Thrift store. I can't find any info on it's value, although the gentleman I paid to repad it and cork it said it's probably more valuable than her original clarinet. Can anyone help me identify it's age and value?

The case is in bad shape but the instrument is beautiful imo!

Welcome, and what a beautiful clarinet you have there. 

It seems apparent that it was made between 1901-1918, based upon keywork (no Ab adjustment screw, single lower joint trill post, doughnut ring key, wrap-around register key). 

I assume it is in low pitch because you had it restored for use.  Does it have a LP stamp on it, anywhere?

[Bromisko]

Thanks for the reply! I honestly have no idea what pitch it plays in. Where would the LP stamp be?

[LarryS]

I love that wrap around keywork! Elegant

Ah, the elusive donut key! Those are fun; a few folks had it, namely Buffet and M. Lacroix.

Usually LP is stamped somewhere on the bell or the upper joint, directly above the A key. I don't see anything here, except "AA" on the bell. Not sure what this means.

You can always measure it, or compare it side-by-side to a more modern LP and see if it's slightly shorter.

I'm looking to sell it. Any idea if it's value and where I could sell it?

[DaveLeBlanc]

Probably around $300-350

You can offer it for sale here, in the Trading Post section, or on-line at one of those other auction sites, like Ebay, Reverb, or Etsy.
