RE: "Cleveland" silver Eb clarinet

The patent US 1,705,634 was granted to Harry Bettoney, of Boston , MA, in 1929 [I believe], of the Cundy-Bettoney Co., which made many metal clarinets [Silva-Bet being the best and many other "student" cls, 3 Star etc. So I assume that your Cleveland is what we call a "stencil" inst. [made to be labelled {by White-King} under another trademarked name] . This was [and still is] quite a common practice. So, congratulations, have fun with it, you are joining a large group of "collectors" of clarinets, [I have only 2 metals, but too-many others to count quickly!!]. Don
