The 1-10 is the same clarinet as the plastic B&H Regent (not the wooden ones from the '50s with Mazak keys) and like many plastic clarinets, were first made from Bakelite and much later from ABS resin.

While the keywork fit and finish was variable (as they are the B&H equivalent of Bundy clarinets until B&H imported actual Bundys under the name B&H "78" while still making their own plastic Regents), they can be made into nice players with the required fettling and using much thinner materials instead of the really thick key corks B&H used.
