What does this mean?

Hi Rayna,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This appears to be a vintage Windsor B♭ clarinet. Windsor" clarinets marked with "Elkhart, Indiana" were produced by the Elkhart Band Instrument Company, a collaborative venture established in 1923 by executives from two prominent instrument manufacturers: Buescher and C.G. Conn. The Windsor line was introduced around 1937 as a more affordable option, targeting students and amateur musicians. These instruments were manufactured between 1937 and 1942.
When these clarinets come to auction, they typically sell for the fair-market price of $250-350, though any that retailers are selling are probably listed for higher prices.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
