Vintage 1930s Pedler Metal Clarinet - US Military Marked - w/ Cundy-Bettoney Case

This is a beautiful piece of musical and military history: a vintage metal clarinet manufactured by The Pedler Co. of Elkhart, Indiana.Key Features:

• Military Provenance: This instrument is stamped with "US" below the company logo, indicating it was produced under a government contract for the U.S. military during the late 1930s.
• Serial Number: 45643 (Dates to approx. 1938–1940).
• Original Case: Includes a vintage Cundy-Bettoney Co. hard-shell case with its original purple lining.
• Included Parts: Comes with the original matching metal tuning barrel.

Condition Notes:
The silver plating shows a nice vintage patina. All keys appear to be present. As with most instruments of this age, it is being sold "As-Is" and will likely require a standard repadding/overhaul to be in 100% playing condition. Perfect for collectors of military memorabilia or enthusiasts of Elkhart-made woodwinds.
