My clarinet, embossed with boosey and Hawkes and 'special' with a s/n 60509 which places it in mfg years 1946-48?

Can someone tell me about it as your history pages are for models emperor, pro, edgeware, etc but Special is not a mode mentioned

60509 could also be from 1951:

"NOTE: A volume of miscellaneous serial numbers lists two sequences of clarinets as ex-frozen stock. Numbers 60000-61539 were given to clarinets completed in the period 1946-1948, and numbers 68275-68320 were given to clarinets completed in 1950. However, the numbers were issued twice and were also given out in 1951."

Can you post some photos of it as that will definitely help identify it.

The opinions I express are my own.

There's a thread about a B&H 'Special' here:
