Antique J.W. Pepper metal reed case, stamped Philadelphia, PA, containing six original cane clarinet reeds. This compact metal case features a hinged lid and canvas-lined interior designed to protect and store reeds.


Likely dating to the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930s), this piece was sold by J.W. Pepper, a prominent American music publisher and instrument dealer. The reeds show natural age-related discoloration consistent with vintage cane and have been kept in the original fitted slots.
