Actually, according to the stampings, this particular clarinet is marked Cousenon of France as well. Perhaps that may shed some more light...

You're lucky! Now at least you know that Couesenon manufactured this clarinet for resale as a "generic branded" clarinet, specifically for the US market.

On the brass instruments by Couesenon (Couesenon is very famous in the brass wind trade) the last 2 digits of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture; no mention is made of how they marked woodwinds. I believe Couesenon is still in business; you might have some luck if you can contact them.
