Many many bass clarinets were made by Malerne, an aggressive stenciler for many years.
Names such as Marigaux, Linton, Penzel Mueller, Olds, and dozens and dozens of others were made by Malerne. They are made of lovely grenadilla wood and are distinguishable by their distinctive keywork. Several of the unbranded basses I've seen are definitely of this manufacturer.
FWIW, I owned an Old Special bass clarinet of this make for a while and it was a solid player. Not outstanding, but not bad. The biggest issue was the lack of a register vent. I'd say it was a step up from a plastic Bundy, but wasn't especially satisfying to play. I moved quickly onto a vintage Selmer Paris horn and haven't looked back.
