Thanks for everyones help.  I went back over the flute with my magnifying glass again and found the manufactures name very, very faintly on the ivory portion of the flute.  It's German, nach H. F. Meyer ebony and ivory 12 key flute.  I should be able to get a good idea of it's value now.

I have inspected the entire flute with a magifying glass, not a trace of any names or marks on it.

Wow..You are very knowledgeable and helpful!  I had no idea that that was a violin tailpiece, I was pretty sure it was not part of the flute.  And yes. you are correct, the tailpiece has been sawed off.  Your story was very interesting too.

I have an antique flute with no markings.  Does anyone have any idea of the value or how I can find out the value.  Thanks
