LP= Low Pitch: The instrument is pitched for A=440 Hz.
C= Key of C
Is it worth restoring? Maybe. You haven't spent much on it yet. Will restoring it make the instrument a good clarinet? Who knows?
In general music literature, most music isn't written for C clarinet, but you can play music written for other instruments (violin/flute/voice) without transposition. Band and orchestral music is generally not written for the clarinet in C. There is some, but not all that much.
If you want the instrument as a curiosity, it might be worth restoring. Personally, it would not be worth it to me, especially since you will ahve to go o the trouble and expense of finding both a barrel and a bell..
