I recently purchased a clarinet off Ebay under the stencil "Guy Humphery" and I was wondering if anyone could identify the original maker.
here are some photos:

The Equipment tab on this site has a list of various clarinet brand names and their makers. It identifies Guy Humphrey as being made by:
US Government (Paris import - clarinets)
with "?" for dates of manufacture. I can't tell you anything more than this, but perhaps someone else on the board will have some insight.

It's got an articulated C#/G# key and LH forked Eb/Bb mechanism, so that would be something I'd be interested in (and then I'd add a LH Ab/Eb lever to it).
