Selmer Paris BT, Serial number not on the lists

[LisaE]

I have my dad's clarinet - it needs to be restored but it looks like it might be worth it. I finally found the serial number, but it's not on any of the lists I can find. It is L4850. I've photographed it and zoomed in. Photo of the whole thing and the serial number here - any thoughts about how to find the year, etc? Thanks.

Here is the Clarinet Perfection serial # chart. It looks like it dates from 1934 or 1935.

It is definitely old, but it is worth resurrecting. I have a 1956 center-tone Selmer which still plays like new. It has been reconditioned over the years, but still excellent. Yours will still be great.
