I taught Band in Texas for 37 years and have seen only one clarinet of which you have described. This was brought in by one beginning student whose aunt had given it to him to see if it could be used as a beginner's instrument. Even some of these keys were missing! There are very few instructors in public school music who can even find a fingering chart or teach this type of instrument. My advice is to find a really good carpenter and consider having a lamp stand made of it. It would make a charming and very interesting conversation piece. Other suggestion would be to have it restored to a reasonable condition and molunted for a wall display for home or ofice. I have seen this done for old wooden flutes. Good Luck!
