Correction 1935-1940. Masim Paris was open in 1935. And Paris on the box probably mean that the reeds were made before Maccaferi move to USA in 1939.

There is also a box of reeds in the case. Those reeds were made 1930-1935. They are 100 years old and look like new. So it seems to be a time capsule:)

Picture enclosed. Is it possible that those mouthpieces are also original FX Hüller? The silver cap (which protect only the reed) is similar as the one from FX Hüller catalog from that era.

I'm looking for any information on the sax on pictures. Engraving says it's Menge. I believe Herbert Menge from F.X. Huller, but I cannot find any info that he made saxophones. There are info on patents by Menge. No serial number on the body. It's model similar to F.X. Huller World de Luxe, but litt...

Hi. Im looking for the information on Friedrich Lausmann Graslitz manufacturer. New Langwill Index saying nothing about Friedrich. I'm assuming he's related with Carl from Linz. Any info would be helpful.

Pictures of one of the contrabassoon made by Oscar Oehler. I'm looking for info on how many contras were made by Oehler.

Did Oscar Oehler made other instruments than clarinets? I have found some info about bassoon and contrabassoon made by Oskar Oehler Berlin, and my question is that might be stenciled instruments, did he made them by yourself?

It's DRGM 1205462

Hi. Just for reference, key of A, serial number 9320. Case was made before 1945 (DRGM number on it) so clarinet also could be made around that year.

Hi. I'm looking for information on Osk. Neidhardt Schoneck clarinet. Any info will be helpful

Hi. I'm looking for information on A. Lederer Schoneck manufacturer. I have piccolo stamped A. Lederer. There are some information on Erich, Christian, Gottwalt Lederer, but can't find any information on "A" Lederer.

Hi. Could anyone help me with identification of the clarinet on pictures below? No serial numbers. It has not typical key on right pinky section and additional thumb key.

Hi. Is there any chance to identify the manufacturer of the clarinet on attached pictures. Unfortunately only serial number is on the body. I think Mollenhauer used such font for serial numbers, but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Clarinet on above picture have 621 model engraving. On F. Arthur Uebel web page 621 is Bb. I'm just wondering if Uebel change model numbers during the years of manufacture. In 1967 key of C was 621 model, nowadays key of C is 611.
