Subj: Who was Henri Farny?

About 25 years ago I bought an A clarinet from the first clarinet
player in a community orchestra I played in. It was quite old and
was only stamped L.P. A. The maker's insignia was completely worn
off, at least so I thought until last night, when I guess just the
right light hit on it in just the way and I caught a glimpse of what
looked like a letter. After about a half hour of careful examination,
I was able to make out:

HENRI FARLY
ET CIE
PARIS
MODELE SUPERIEUR

Anyone ever hear of this company?

Thank you kindly in advance for indulging me with this bit of trivia,
but after having had a "nameless" instrument for so long, this is
rather exciting for me.
.......... I know........ boy, that guy should get a life!

Thanks again.

Regards,

John
