Missing endcap screw-cork assembly, crack in head and barrel - otherwise in quite nice condition. This is a classic American design with the double rings.
Whiteley is particularly interesting as the remains of his shop were discovered in Utica by Eric Selch and others. This included some complete and unused instruments as well as many tools and uncompleted keys, mostly for clarinets.
