Might as well start a new thread.
I picked up a 2(4) piece plastic Pruefer festival model. I know the serial number lists on the net are all numeric. Problem i have is that the serial on this one starts with an e and as such i cant really nail down a production year. E01294, the thing looks like brand new, i mean very light scratching and everything is shinny(only one broken needle spring). Bell is stamped BD of ED NYC ESEA #1. So it seems to be a school instrument out of the NYC school system which seems to have seen little to no service. My best guess as far as the age, I am going to guess somewhere maybe late 60's the earliest to somewhere in the mid 70's.
Does anyone have any filler info they could supply?
