Someone is trying to sell this as a clarinet, but I suspect it is not a clarinet No markings to be seen on the instrument or case. Does not look to have modern keys.
Is this a very old oboe?

That's definitely an old oboe. Would be interesting to know the length of the joints, but it won't be the same length as a modern oboe as a whole as this one only descends to low B. Although there are modern beginner level oboes built to low B (Bundy, Yamaha, etc.), they still have the full length bell as an oboe built to low Bb but without the extra keywork.
