From the serial number it would seem to date from late 40s or early 50s.
The "double vent" is actually not a "double" vent but a mechanism that allows the throat Bb to be much better vented by the addition of a properly sized and positioned tonehole for the Bb whilst the register tube can be more correctly sized and positioned to perform it's function.

An interesting clarinet but no special value these days although an avid or geek-ish collector might be prepared to pay a little over the odds for it's novelty value.
