Trying to find out what my old Artley flutes are

Post by lucrosus »

Hi!

I have 2 Artley flutes that I'm trying to find information on. The one I played way back in HS is a closed-hole, 3 piece flute. It has "Artley Elkart, Ind". There are numbers printed into the metal of "56180". I think it's from 1959, but don't know if it's silver, silver-plated or nickel-plated.

The second one I believe is older. It also says "Artley Elkart, Ind" and is closed-hole and is in 2 pieces. The number printed on it is "9536". Same situation on the metal.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
