First of all, there is a better picture of the Bettoney ad with the prices clearly seen:

(click on the pic to open it). I'll also attach it here for future reference in case the link goes away.

I also have a Cundy Bettoney (I think it's Cadet) clarinet which has wooden upper and lower sections and bakelite bell and barrel. I'm planning to DIY-repad it as the pads are old. It's clearly a student model but it looks nicely made and feels solid.
In the ad the clarinets are either wood or metal and I know many Cundy Bettoney student models that appear on Evil-Bay look like hard rubber. I don't know if they introduced the bakelite bell and barrel on the Cadets later or it was the original design. Mine looks like it's from 50-s judging by the case.
