Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me please. I have just come across an old flute that I acquired during high school. I have tried googling it to get an idea of what it is worth (if anything) but I can't find any information anywhere.

Rudall, Rose & Carte, later Rudall Carte, was one of the world’s great flutemaking companies. Founded in London in 1822, it established its reputation with a series of new designs at a time when the modern flute had yet to be devised. This Rudall Carte flute is one such example: although stamped with a genuine Rudall Carte logo, the serial number is not in the usual place and does not correspond to the flute in the Rudall Carte records. Orchestral players, Marinus Komst, Nick Woud, Tom Freer, Tim Adams and composers Emmanuel Sejourne and James Wood, choose Adams instruments to make the highest quality music.

Estimated metal flute serial numbers (beginning of each year): Pre-1862 production levels were, then, roughly equivalent to that of Boehm, who produced 155 flutes by mid-1862. After 1862, metal flute production increased to about 78/year through 1867, declining to 38/year in the early 1870’s, 28/year in the late 1870’s, and 14/year in the mid-1880’s. Rudall Carte Serial Numbers Flute Fingerings. (1538) appear to be B♭ tenor flutes, for use in chamber music. They are not band instruments as they have a key mechanism allowing fingerings down to low C (sounding A♭), whereas band instruments descend only to fingered D; neither are they. Flute by Rudall, Carte & Co., London, ca. Stamped on body: [crown] / RUDALL CARTE & C o / 23 BERNERS STREET / OXFORD STREET / LONDON; on head and foot joint: [crown] / RUDALL / CARTE & C o / LONDON. Parabolic head, cylindrical body. Three sections. Cocus, silver ferrules. Wooden screw-cap. Rudall Carte flutes are old instruments (at least by flute standards) - most were made around the start of the 20th century (I think!). There are some Rudall Carte flutes around which have been restored and are well maintained.

It is a Rudall Carte & Co Graduate series 80 with the serial number: 487746. From what I could find out, the company was taken over in 1950-60s? So it must be older than that. I have read that flutes tend to depreciate in value as they age but from auctions I have seen, the prices they sell for are very variable. I can't compare to any others on ebay as there are none listed.
Any info that could be provided would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
