Subj: [kl] Buffet metal contrabass clarinet

Hello

We have a tiny museum of clarinets here, and after
years of passing by it I stopped to see what is the
contrabass clarinet, and it turned out to be a Buffet
metal contrabass clarinet. Obviously very old. I know
they don't make metal or contrabass clarinets anymore,
so I was wondering if anyone has any information on
when they made them, or anything about them.

Here is a photo (for comparison, it's a low E bass
clarinet next to it)

Thanks & best wishes!
