They're the same clarinet as the B&H Edgware - wooden body with nickel plated keys. They often have a long side Eb/Bb touchpiece instead of the usual golf club-shaped key and also have a metal bell ring when the standard model Edgware had a ringless bell with a decorative groove machined around the flare.

They were made n the '60s - mine was from 1965 with the serial number 234701. It got stolen when I was at college, but I had moved onto large bore Selmers (BT Bb and CT A) by then.

Most B&H serial number lists published on the interwebs are way off the mark, so don't trust them. This one is the most accurate:
