Normandy Clarinet were available as wood models and as a Resotone (plastic) models. One particular wood Normandy model came with a wood body but with nd a plastic barrel and bell - sometimes even seen with a wood barrel and plastic bell.
Any Normany models are fine choices for beginners to intermediate, and the Resotone model is an excellent choice as a marching band instrument.
Plastic
Both the CL-300 and 301 are very good student instruments. The CL-300 was produced during the 1990s (1990-1999) and has a glossy finish. The CL-301 comes with a satin finish that Selmer refers to as "simulated wood", but both are good quality plastic instruments. The older Selmer/Bundy instruments were, in their heyday, among the most ubiquitous (and less expensive) student instruments that you could buy. They were pretty reliable but were targeted for the beginner(s). Still good to keep around during high school for marching band (outside) drilling and performances, but the CL-300/301 series are, IMO, better quality instruments.
The Yamaha C100 clarinet is a clarinet made out of plastic, it is possible to tell because if the instrument doesn't have any grain on it or it doesn't have any grain on the inside of the instrument then is a plastic clarinet. The C100 is the predecessor to the YCL-250 and is an excellent choice for a beginner/intermediate and for marching band.
=Well first off, the H20799 is just the serial number on the clarinet. It isn't important on the value of the clarinet. Second, it depends on if it is wood or plastic.=

You're Artley was produced in 2000, it's a student model b-flat clarinet. It could be wood or copmposite plastic, you can tell by the texture of the intstrument. Plastic is smooth and shiny, wood has a grain to it. Hope this helps!!

Any good music store will have French made clarinets and the better models will be made of wood. The most common brands are Buffet Crampon a Paris and Selmer Paris (not to be confused with Selmer USA).

Clarinets are most commonly made of plastic but good ones are made of wood
The majority of clarinets used by professionals are made from the hardwoods grenadilla or mpingo - both originating in Africa. However, clarinets sold in stores are often made from rubber, plastic or even metal.
The small piece of wood on the clarinet is the reed.
It would need to be appraised by an instrument dealer as to its condition - wear and tear on the silver, the state of the pads and corks would be a consideration in determining value.
