Tam - reality has it that, for better of for worse, the people and the clarinets are still around.
Carl Fischer imported clarinets from Czechoslovakia, as well as other countries.
Many manufacturers, from bus horns to tennis shoes, have an Artist line of something. Depends mostly on what years the horn may have been produced. About the only way to know whether it was a good year is to play the instrument.

Just as there was a thriving musical instrument industry around Paris, with most of our current 'big-name' manufacturers based there plus dozens of smaller shops and many free-lance specialists in one or more facets of the making of clarinets ---- the town of Graslitz/Kraslice (part of Bohemia, Germany, Czechoslovakia, or the Czech Republic, depending on year) had such an industry, and this particular clarinet may well have been a product of that district. Hard to be sure, however. Perhaps you might inquire of Amati-Denak, as they still produce clarinets in the Czech Republic and are a conglomerate comprising some of the remnants of that old industry.

It is spelled "Czechoslovakia" and is currently comprised of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic...I believe. Amati continues to make excellent quality instruments at reasonable prices.
