Armstrong Piccolo Serial Numbers Identification

Help identifying an Armstrong serial number Hi, I don't play the flute but I bought what appears to be a genuine Armstrong flute at a garage sale today and I'm curious how much it's worth. It's a 104 model, stamped USA, and the serial number is 7057336. The serial number is: N9865 Any ideas. I can't find anywhere on the web where the old Armstrong pic serial numbers are posted. I have tried in the past to contact Armstrong about other flute issues and I can't get a response. The Yamaha reps are awsome. They always call back, but Armstrong customer service is horrible.

This piccolo is in great shape.

Hi Marie,
Betty is a 'seasoned citizen' indeed.
Quite a few people play on antique, or even just older flutes which were made by some of the masters of flutemaking. A flute that Verne Q. Powell made himself inthe 60's, or a vintage Haynes, or even an original Louis Lot can be a real treasure.
Modern flutemaking and newer scale designs do make a difference, though. Also, many new techniques in headjoint making have been taken advantage of, and the newer flutes are usually easier to play well.
I remember that the Armstrong Heritage flutes were made by a well known master craftsman- who was it, guys, and what era?
My Yamaha 800 series was made in 1998, and took a LONG time to sell before I bought it on eBay. It has a C-footjoint, so it was likely overlooked by B-foot snobs in this country. To be fair, it also had an unintentionally asymmetric embouchure hole, making the headjoint just OK, so I had to replace that before she really began to sing.
I'll have to find out when my piccolo was made- actually both of them- I have a solid silver 'CSS' Gemeinhardt (whose model number was long ago replaced) and a Zentner wood picc, which is no longer made.
