Boosey and Hawkes / LaFleur

Could anybody tell me what the relationship is between B & H and LaFleur? I understand that LaFleur were originally music publishers and have read that they bought stencils from Couesnon, but I have recently bought a very nice Bb LaFleur clarinet which appears to be pure B & H. The keywork seems to be pretty much the same as an Edgware or Imperial, the body and ringless bell are likewise similar. I paid peanuts for it and apart from suffering from perhaps 70+ years of storage it is in almost new condition. The pads and corks are rotted out, but after some TLC it should be fine. The wood is excellent.
