Hello, I have had this flute & piccolo sitting around for quite a while. I don't know much/if anything about them. I was given them used by a relative in or around 1999. The flute says "Artley Nogales, Ariz 4-0" with a number that says "435351" and it also says "SILVER." The piccolo says "Artley 15-P." Both need a good cleaning & new pads. The flute needs some repairs to it since some of the keys don't open/close properly. The case is fine. I'm thinking of selling them and wondering what they might be worth. Would it be of any value if I paid for the repairs before selling?

From my little research, the flute is supposed to be an open hole, but why does it have what seems to be cork in the holes?

I took some pictures of them, we'll see if I can figure out how to load them:

I had an Nogales 9-0 with that same case (sans pic). Sold it for $100. The conscientious of opinion is that the Nogales Artley's were not much to get excited about.
