Ferrees Tools have Bundy/Selmer pegs and/or the complete asembly for quite cheap. I got one of these and can take measurements and some pictures if you like.

The plain, flat ring at the top of the lower joint hints at B&H. The neck brace is pretty clearly an after-market addition.

Grenadilla is variable in colour from medium brown to jet black, so sometimes it can look very much like rosewood in strong light. It's part of the rosewood family anyway.

It looks like the E/B and F#/C# levers share posts. Not one I've worked on.

Also, there must be no spaces in the link. The places that look like spaces are actually underline characters (_).
The # character points to a place other than the beginning of the file. I just put the # and what follows outside the > sign. In most places, you can give the address with the #, and the reader can copy and paste it into the
Address line.

So far I can only guess in the earlier Conn/Pedler direction, but as you pointed out, it doesn't have those rotating trill keys.
Is there anything interesting/distinct about the right hand sliver key pad cup area?

Older Selmer basses have a similar RH main action clutch, but the keywork on this isn't like that seen on Selmers.

Could it be an early Kolhert, perhaps?
Whatever it is, it must be quite old, because of (a) the manual double register keys, (b) the lack of adjustment screw on the throat A key (c) the shared post for the LH levers, and (d) the lack of a hole in the LH1 plate. Maybe 1950's or earlier

A bit off-topic, but I just remembered that my Buffet Carl Fischer A clarinet has a single post for the LH4 keys.

The 1949 catalog describes the alto and bass of being made of grenadilla wood and having a single automatic register key. The 1939 and 1935 catalogs also indicate grenadilla.

try good magnifying class/goggles and side light. You'd be amazed what could be discovered with these.

you may want to contact Clark Fobes or Brad Behn about their student mouthpieces. They are acrylic and easier to turn down to the appropriate diameter. And, of course, they are cheaper, but for a "proof of concept" should be more than sufficient. Maybe they are even available with smaller tenons?
