There is no definitive information available as to when particular types of instruments, such as the Model 55, the Radio Improved, Balanced Tone, etc., began insofar as serial numbers are concerned. Unlike some of the saxophone models, each clarinet is clearly marked as to its model.

During the WWII years,manufacturer very sketchy, as are the records.
