You got your money's worth, but not much more. It's a standard "simple system" clarinet. The design is from the mid-19th century, with separate keys for the throat A and Ab and no "patent" mechanism for the little finger keys.
On the other hand, clarinets like this were made until the early 20th century, mostly as cheaply as possible for military band use. There's no way to tell, but the wood is only lightly dinged up, so it's more probably late than early.
Stand it up next to your Bb. If it's 1-1/2" or so shorter, it's at high pitch and suitable only for fooling around on or hanging on the wall.

With LED-bulbs?
Here is another photo of it, showing the upper part.
So, probably german or france 1880-1920?

German or East European - definitely not French.

Like Chris P says - definitely not french. The design of the C#/G# and register keys are typically german. Also what Ken Shaw said.

Nils, I wonder if you could put one of the spinning lights on from the disco years?
