Music_is_life: I'll try to answer some of your questions. I commend you on your determination to understand the B&H lineup.

My 1010 (manufactured in 1960) shows the number on the bell and the upper joint (below the logo) and on the warranty card as "1010". No hyphen. I think the hyphenation came later with models like the 2-20 and 8-10, and people may have begun applying it to the 1010 designation as well.

The upper joint and bell show the word "Symphony" in capital letters at the top of the logo, and show the word "Imperial" (below a crown) in the middle of the logo. The warranty card, which was filled out by hand, describes the intrument as a "Bb Clarinet 1010", and the style as "Symphony". The case has a silk strip running across an upper corner with the words "Boosey & Hawkes Imperial".

If this is a typical example, I think all you can conclude is that in general the words "Symphony" and "Imperial" were both part of the 1010's description. I am aware of "Imperial" also being used in association with the 926 line, which had a slightly narrower bore than the 1010, and which was made in both wood and hard rubber. The latter was intended for those poor souls working in military bands in the far flung parts of the British Empire.

The 1010 was consider the top of the line as far as orchestral playing was concerned. I believe the 926 was of comparable quality but possibly directed at the band market.

Finally, my recollection of the Edgware was that it was available both in ebonite and wood, and that the name is derived from a B&H manufacturing facility on Edgware Road in London. My recollection is that the Edgware model or models predate the 1-20, 2-20, etc.
