I have an old silver-toned brass clarinet in a black hard case. The instrument is engraved "Ken Barger Mfg. Co." on the bell. Above the company name is a larger inscription, "Ken". The numbers "2577" are engraved under the lowest valve key and on the back of a long key midway down. The numbers "44" are engraved beneath two other valve keys - one in the cork pad of the top key and one in the back of the metal key above the long key.
The case contains a Steel Ebonite mouthpiece, REG. U.S. Pat. Office, inscribed "Special" MADE FOR DICK STABILE. It also includes a metal lyre and one reed in a cardboard holder imprinted as follows: "Progress Publications, Omaha, NE, ReedRiteTM, Printed in USA. There is a hand-written masking tape label on the bottom of the case reading "Walsenburg, Colo."
