Editing Evette and Schaeffer serial numbers

Serial numbers, dates, and identifying characteristics from various sources.  Some wildly improbable dates (usually attributable to misunderstanding of Buffet serial number lists) have been omitted.  Included dates are not necessarily accurate.

Interesting reading [http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=54696&t=54525&v=f here] and [http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=82636&t=82630 here].

| "From what I've read (and the dating of older E&S clarinets is difficult) I think the B series is from the 1940's or early 1950's (?)."

| "... colored a rusted brown and has rounded edges with the metal stamp of Buffet on it. It has two locking [button] latches. ... The inside of the case is a burgundy colored velvet with an area at the back of the case that holds extras such as the swab, lyre, etc. (Just one long open area across the back). There is also one small section that measures about 1x2 inches where the reed case goes. "

| 1959 ?
| (According to Buffet-Crampon website serial number search; serial number entered without the "B" (i.e., 8109) returns the following: "Brand: Buffet Crampon/ Instrument: Clarinettes n�1 440 Evette/ Serial number: 8109/ Year of manufacturing: 02/10/1959) (http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/instruments.php) Purchased in Augusta, GA, in 08/07.
| On barrel, upper joint, and bell: EVETTE/ SPONSORED BY BUFFET/ PARIS, FRANCE/ all inside of the oval. Serial number is stamped above the thumb rest.
| This is not an Evette & Schaeffer, but I added it because the Serial Number appeared to be in the same sequence. Feel free to remove if it doesn't belong here. Rectangular case, black w/ black lining, lift clasps, room for second barrel, accessory compartment on left side.
