Thanks for sharing your collection! I have the same flute as displayed on 2:36. I can't find any information on the web. It looks like a Claire Godfroy but not completely. Maybe a Fischer from NY? Do you know?

@VintageTenorSound That flute was an unmarked Pratten style in cocuswood with nickel silver keys. I'm unsure of manufacturer as there was no stamp whatsoever.
