I got another 25 dollar deal, based on reading Windsong's mentioning how much he likes his Jeffrey clarinet, which is a LeBlanc stencil, if I remember properly.  It plays right out of the box, solidly in tune, big thumbs up there!  Its in almost perfect condition, made in France stamped on the top back of the top joint, matching serial numbers on the bottom back of both joints, 6087.  It's got the funky kidney bean touches for the left pinky and four trill posts.
It came with two mouthpieces, a Buffet Crampon Cie, "C" facing, and a bizarre Bonade Clarity with grooves in the table.  The Buffet plays a bit stuffy to me, but I like the Bonade.
The clarinet is built very well, post locks and a large metal footing under the bridge key. Very sturdy.
A really nice player!

I was out bumming around and went to the one and only pawnshop, which has quite a few mouthpieces.  Only sax today, and some student plastic resonite clarinets.  I chatted with the owner, who is really nice and remembered me from buying some mouthpieces before.  I mentioned I was interested in wood or hard rubber clarinets, and he noticed my wounded thumb and I informed him I gouged it with a screwdriver last night working on clarinet.  He said he would be right back.  He brought out a long case and said he wanted me to buy a clarinet from him, that he wanted it fixed and played, and said for twenty bucks it was mine.  This is what I ended up walking out the door with. 
M. LEMAIRE Paris Artist. Made in France on upper front edge of left hand joint.  Serial number might be xxx6, not sure without more magnification.
Articulated c# and forked Eb.  Needs to be rehabbed, and has a rather long surface crack, but it's a keeper.
Thanks for looking, it was a lucky day, I don't often drive the thirteen miles to go there.  I actually went to a church fundraiser to buy some homemade cookies and fruitcake, and happened to think about the pawnshop as an afterthought.  I'm not sure if Its a stencil or an SML.  I think a stencil.
Thanks for looking.

I’ve amended this since i got home and could slap a mouthpiece on it.  With the barrel that is shorter and stenciled LEMAIRE, to match the horn, this plays a B natural instead of Bb concert key at 440, about 4 cents sharp, so almost perfectly in tune.  I transposed the program to key of B to be sure, and it plays an intune scale in the key of B natural.  It’s 22 and 11/16 without the mouthpiece, and 6 and 9/16 from the top edge of the barrel to the middle of the first open tone hole, left index finger.
Anyone hear of a key of B natural french stencil before? 

So I was looking at Evilbay, and saw an Elton clarinet for sale.  I've never heard of Elton, so I looked at the pics.   Elton was stamped on the ligature.  I noted the wrap register key and forked Eb and got interested.  I downloaded and supersized the pictures, and thought I saw an oval shape similar to the Conn oval, so made an offer and they accepted.  I got it today in the mail, and it is in fact a Conn.  The eagle is barely visible on the barrel and bell.  The mouthpiece is a no name plastic.  The serials match, B54031L.  Other than the Conn ovals, eagles and serials, there is no other markings, I was hoping for a model number.
It's pretty dark, very little fading to the hard rubber. The keys are very thin, and the pad cups seem kind of tall and pointed,  kind of tent like, I tried to capture it.
So the seller basically named this clarinet Elton.
Maybe with these pictures, someone will recognize Elton, because I can't find a match.
Thanks for looking, Lisa

I noticed this on auction, and thought anyone who is a fan of Pan Ams might find this of interest, since it has a dated warranty card with the serial number, 69524.  I would assume the instrument was manufactured within a year of the date on the card, April 4, 1948.

Okay, I totally admit I bought this simply because I loved the logo on the bell.

A hard Rubber clarinet.  Except it's wood, with a HR barrel and bell.  It came with a Henri Selmer mouthpiece, logo below the ligature, not sure what that means.
Anyhow, it's pretty neat, but does have a shallow crack.  I'm not planning on returning it, just looking for opinions of I should be worried about it at all.  Also, now that I've got better pictures, maybe some can give a really good guess at the maker.  I've heard Noblet so far.  It does say made in France, with serial 8678A on both sections.
Mostly I'd like opinions on the crack, if I should do anything about it.
Thanks for looking, Lisa

So on a complete whim at the last second, I but on an effer and won, much to my shock.
Even more to my shock is the barrel and mouthpiece, as I was squinting at it in my phone.
The horn is in great shape, corks and pads are shot, mouthpiece is badly chipped and unusable, which was not obviously shown or stated, but you could kind of see it in the pics.
Anyhow, any ideas on this problem? I've never seen a set up like this before.  Anyone got a replacement mouthpiece or little barrel built by pixies?
I'm working and can't examine it super close, but could the metal stem thing be an insert I can pop out of the barrel?

I got a Conn off of evilbay, being sold as a pan am.  Its in great shape, hard rubber, but faded.  Of course, I really like it.  Its unplayable, pads are shot, but nothing else is wrong with it, everything matches, serial numbers are stamped on all the parts.
