Unmarked clarinet - B&H?

Hi folks,

I have rescued an unmarked wooden clarinet from the pile of "to throw out" clarinets from work (I'm a woodwind peri teacher) and was wondering if anyone could help me identify its maker?

It is a wooden Bb clarinet serial number N142936 stamped 'made in England' on the lower joint. No ring on the bell at the bottom (carved like an imperial bell i.e with grooves but the tenon ring is not in the same style as an imperial) Not many unusual features other than a flatter/fatter C#/G# key shaped like a leaf rather than the more modern slimmer style. Each spatula key on the lower joint is also stamped with a progressive number i.e one has 36 the next has 37 and SB in capitals.

Any ideas would be really helpful! I think it may just be an early unstamped Imperial clarinet but it's odd that the tenon rings are in a different style.

Thanks :-)
