Artley 38-0 Flute Value

[ivfmom]

Hello,

I have a 1977 Artley 38-0 Flute. I am trying to find out more about this model and if anyone has an idea on value.

Thank you in advance!

The Artley 38.0 is also known as the Artley Wilkins model. It is made with sterling silver. The condition of the flute has a big impact on its value. If the flute has been serviced recently and is in perfect playing condition, it might be worth $700-$800 on the top end. If it needs to be repadded, it is probably worth maybe $100.

J.L. Smith has one of these for sale right now:

I hope you're right (link?) about the "sterling"

some people are saying they are coin silver.

wonder why they didn't bother to stamp them.
