Description

Looking for information on a vintage G. LeBlanc Paris clarinet.  Approximate manufacture date is in the 1950s.  Serial number is 5848 but the model is unknown.  All parts except possibly the mouthpiece are original.  The case is original.  I would like to know the model number, a better estimate of the manufacture date, and possible valuation.  This clarinet has been in the family since the 1950s, used by 3 generations in school bands.

History
Originally purchased in the 1950s, probably near San Francisco California. Used as a school band instrument by my mother. I used the instrument in school and my son may also start using it for his school band. Passed to me upon her death. Good condition, playable but it needs refurbishing. Some minor surface corrosion and dirt present on the metal parts. No cracking. Corrosion is green in color. Case is original but one of the leather rope handles is broken.
