That's in mint condition! Shame the grease pot has gone missing, but you should be able to get hold of a black plastic one from one of the French or Italian oboe makers that will fit (they're around 20-21mm diameter and 20-21mm in height including lid). Or make one yourself or have someone turn one up for you out of delrin or grenadilla.

A plateaux clarinet is an otherwise standard 17 key clarinet but has covered fingerplates instead of open toneholes.

Full Boehms have 20 keys and 7 rings and along with the regular 17 key/6 rings instruments have the additional forked Eb/Bb mechanism (the ring for LH finger 3), articulated C#/G# with an extra C#/G# touchpiece for RH finger 2, LH Ab/Eb lever and low Eb - and some makers have even made plateaux full Boehms which probably weigh a ton!

See attachment of a full Boehm Selmer Series 9 A, Bb and Eb clarinets.

Here's the link showing the Noblet full Boehm: http://www.clarinetsdirect.biz/NobletFB.html
