 old clarinet ID

Hello,
I'm not a clarinet player, I play cornet/trumpet. I was given a rather old clarinet. The case looks like it is from the 40's or 50's but I could be wrong. The only markings I can find on it says H. Courtois ienna. I don't know if it is suppose to be Vienna and the V is wore off??? I googled it and had no luck finding anything about it. Can someone help me as to what this clarinet may be?

Use the "Search" function on this site, you'll find several mentions of Courtois being a maker of brass instruments, and that they were being bought by Buffet. I can easily imagine that they tried their hand at clarinets long ago.
