Well you see, everyone wants a newer Flute that plays better not an older, used vintage flute. That's why newer flutes are so expensive! Yours is most likely from the 70's. Since Selmer is a very common and not-so expensive flute brand of flute your best price range is worth around $40-$60.
**I also have a Selmer vintage flute and its serial # is 258130 I got it for
$70 at a local music store.
The big variable is what condition are the pads in. An overhaul (repad) will run $150.00 to $250.00 depending on the area of the country and exactly how much work the repair tech will do to it in regard to swedging keys etc. So your best bet is to take the flute to a good repair tech for evaluation. That having been said, a Bundy flute of that age was a well made durable instrument of it's time. Instruments wear out however, and newer instruments from good companies like Armstrong and Yamaha are easier to play and have a much better tone. Generally speaking I would say that the Bundy flute has served it's purpose and it is now time to retire it.

I am trying to find out the same thing for mine. S/N: 25594 I know that Bundy wasn't purchased by Selmer until 1961 according to Selmer Elkhart, IN. Selmer doesn't have any records of their old serial numbers. Adams website doesn't help as it puts the S/N back in 1916 as this is way to old to be correct.
You can't know that without a professional looking at it. The same oboe make and serial number could be worth 200$ or 3000$. It depends on how well it's been kept.
Date of manufacture approx 1972/3. Selmer Bundy is the name given by Selmer to what was originally the Bach 1001 (one of which I still play, having bought it new in the early 1970s). ML is not part of the serial number but denotes that the instrument has a medium large bore.
a 1971 Mark VI, around $6500 in today's market
According to the Bundy serial number listing, number 559673 was manufactured between 1970 (520000) and 1975 (630000).
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured after 1983.
Probably $20 on ebay. Or you could just make a lamp out of it.
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1925-1926.
