This set was brought back from Thailand in the early to mid 60's and given to my parents. Was told was brass, not sure need to know. Any marking we should look for? It's in a wood box, blue lining, and is in very good condition. My mom would like to sell this and needs to know approx. value and best place to sell. Has Budha like on handles with wood on handles too. If anyone can help or is interested in giving value and/or buying, would be greatly appriecated.

This is a matching moustache teacup and saucer with Japanese characters on the bottom of each. The image is of two women in the countryside. I found it in my forgotten things at my home in the Chicago area.
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."
