 bakelite clarinet

Perhaps someone can shed some light on the use of plastic or bakelite in clarinets. I purchased an old(er) clarinet this weekend for nearly nothingthat appears to be made of bakelite. A bit about it: the maker is F. Holton, the keys are nickel plated, it is a boehm system and the barrel and body say L.P. The mouthpiece I do not recall except that it was French and the ligature is apparently from Boosey and Hawkes as it is in the shape of a B and an H and says "Made in England". The clarinet is obviously not wood or plastic and both my husband and I think it is bakelite. Any ideas as to when and how long bakelite was used? I don't care if it is worth anything or not, I really bought it for the ligature.
