A Selmer trumpet with a serial number of 43417 was made in 1950, so as of 2013 it is 63 years old. All Selmer trumpets have a serial number and there is a chart that shows what year the trumpet was made.
Selmer's website has a comprehensive list of years versus serial numbers. You can check it out yourself at the link below this box. But your's falls between 1947 and 48
A serial number is the best way to verify how old a Selmer Signet Soloist trumpet is. As a general rule, these horns were first made in the late 1960s, around 1967 to 1969.
I have a Selmer Flute and would like to know when it was made. The serial # is 776481.
It was made by Selmer and is a Strad 37 clone but with a two piece bell. It was the intermediate below the Bach Strad but you cant really comment on a trumpet unless you can play it. Quality wise it was a well made instrument. The sound was a bit brighter than the Strad. A good student step up instrument.

I am trying to find out the same thing for mine. S/N: 25594 I know that Bundy wasn't purchased by Selmer until 1961 according to Selmer Elkhart, IN. Selmer doesn't have any records of their old serial numbers. Adams website doesn't help as it puts the S/N back in 1916 as this is way to old to be correct.
This trumpet was only from the 60's or 70's. It's a simple trumpet and they made many. If in good condition, maybe $100.
Taiwan

Any good music store will have French made clarinets and the better models will be made of wood. The most common brands are Buffet Crampon a Paris and Selmer Paris (not to be confused with Selmer USA).
