Bundy Bass Clarinet

[Beckett]

Hello all! I've been using this plastic school model Bundy for quite a while now, and recently I'm looking into buying a new instrument. I've been trying to find a date on when it was manufactured, but it seems as though there's not a lot of information on Bundy manufacturing dates for bass clarinets. The serial number on mine is 1305138. Besides the date, what do plastic Bundy's go for on the market these days? I don't even have a basis on how much I bought it for because it was gifted to me. Besides some wear on the nickel plating on the keys, I have replaced most of the pads, and it's in great working condition.

That looks like one of the newer Chinese made Bundys. That floor peg nut even looks just like the one on the Kessler. Most of the American made Bundys are one piece. The Bundy name was only sold in the last 2 decades or so, so if I had to guess the "13" at the beginning of the serial number might mean 2013. I imagine $500 would be fair or maybe up to $700 if you have it fully serviced and cleaned up by a tech before you sell it.
