Well, you're very lucky to have found that! (in my opinion, I'll add.)
You've got a CT Omega that's a Full Boehm system, which has more keys than a normal clarinet to help with ease of playing some passages; (I'll add this isn't very commonly found today, so that could go either way for value) and what's called a Stubbins-Kaspar mechanism, which was designed to help intonation and response of the note throat Bb.
I personally haven't seen all of these on a CT (the Omega designation, being a FB, and the S-K mech that I believe might have been on all Omegas) at once before, maybe someone here has seen a FB CT Omega like that?
Your Clarinet is in Bb from the looks of the pictures you sent, and appears to be in really rather good shape, it's even got 3 tuning barrels with it still.
What did you pay for it?
And also, the mouthpiece with it might be worth a lot, too, so keep that in mind if you're getting a value on it-what's it marked?
As for value: two CTs with the same Full Boehm keywork style as yours sold on ebay within the psst few months for $528 and $660; I'd expect yours to sell for a bit more, as it's an Omega model.
