RE: Clarinet by E. Lerue?

Rob B. and Don have nailed exactly the curious thing about this clarinet. The workmanship is that of the 19th century, but the clarinet clearly isn't that old. The keywork and the case point to something closer to 1950. Ron, the logo is just "E. Lerue" in block letters (for all I know it could be LeRue, come to think of it) embossed in a rectangle with rounded corners, on the barrel. Under the rectangle is a small "dingbat" in the shape of a bracket (below and paralleling the bottom edge of the rectangle) of a flowering vine. The serial number is at the bottom of the lower stack. That's all. No other markings.

I still haven't finished the work on it, BTW. I'll start a new thread later, I guess, because I don't think I'll be able to touch it until the end of September. I've got 8 film noir reviews due Friday and a book review and 12,000-word feature article due by the end of September. On top of that, my husband and I are in drywall hell at the moment. The ceiling of our "music room" (a small study where he practices violin) started collapsing when we were on a short vacation over the weekend. :-( On the bright side, we did the demolition yesterday without getting ourselves killed.
