The New Langwell Index is fun for this stuff.

American is a popular name for metal clarinets. Note that not all were actually made in the U.S. and that more than one company used American Artist

I have seen American Knight metal clarinets on eBay, but I don't know the maker, and I have not seen one recently. It almost certainly was sold as a student quality. If you could send pix, I might could guess who made it, but probably not. Might play fine for marching band, outdoors, etc.
