It's going to be from the early or middle 1950s, depending on the model. If you could provide pictures, I could advise you as to which model you have.

If the body of the instrument is wood, and the Normandy shield on the upper joint does NOT have FRANCE inscribed underneath it, it's one of the Original or Transitional Normandy clarinets, and was made in the early 1950s.
If the body of the instrument is wood, and the Normandy shield on the upper joint has FRANCE inscribed underneath, it is a Model 7 if equipped with a plastic bell, or a Model 10 if equipped with a wooden bell. It would have been made in the mid 1950s.

Normandy 7 was an entry-level wooden clarinet which stayed in production until about 1970. The serial number on your clarinet places it about early 1969.
