Willow,
As far as I know, there were (at least) two Getzen instrument manufacturers about 60 years ago, and one went out of business. The current Getzen is the manufacturer of the brass instruments referred to above, which are quite good, by all reports.
I encountered several of these Getzen Clarinets in my early years of teaching, and they were not wonderful. They seemed to get out of proper adjustment frequently, and the keys were made of something called "pot metal," which, when they had been bent, broke upon attempting to bend them back into their original shape. Other than that outstanding cheapness of construction, I do not remember any positive characteristics of these CSO's.
My advice would be to make a lamp out of it.
