U S Patent 1,705,634 was issued 3/1929 to Bettoney [Harry], who made clarinets etc in Boston [later becomming Cundy-Bettoney] in the early 1900's. Its probably safe to assume that your cl was made after 3/1929 so as to bear the pat #, which corresponds to the time period when metal cl's were popular. He and others made insts for the armed services prob 1917 + which would account for the name. He also wrote and commented-on writings re: clarinets. I have a metal ser.AN 9803 [3-Star] and a wood ser's.3346 and 4166[upper joint] labelled USN [Navy?] both made by C-B. Hope this interesting history [to which, others please contribute] may help you.
