Your instrument reminds me of my old B & H composition clarinet, which had
remarkably good keywork for a cheapo, and <<bronze>> springs. (The keywork got
much worse on their later versions). The lack of markings is odd, though. I
don't know what manufacturers' habits are when introducing a new model - could
this be an example of some prototype which got away?
