King Silver Sonic Clarinet

[jes]

We have a King Silver Sonic Clarinet. It was made in Cleveland, OH by H. N. White. We are wondering what year it could possibly be and what it might be worth. It looks old and our research indicates that it might be between 1942-1946. Thank you!

Are you talking about a King "Silver King", "Silver Sonic", or "Micro Sonic" metal clarinet with a sterling bell, in nice shape? We need pictures then. If it comes with provenance connecting it to a known musical group that'd be cool too.

Here's the last one I saw on eBay for $1500: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...e&rt=nc&si=kWkOgEunpB7OXNjR2%2Bv%2BBEteQNM%3D
