That's a completely different animal to what I was assuming was a brand new Chinese clarinet with the name 'Chedeville' laser etched onto it.
As well as the wrap-around speaker key, it has the ring for LH3 which is a crude form of a forked Eb/Bb mechanism where you can play Eb or Bb with LH fingers 1 and 3 only (xox|ooo), but it will be flat as there's no vent connected to the LH2 ring key to compensate for the closure of LH3 when using the forked fingering.
One thing you need to be wary of is the extra socket ring fitted to the top joint which most likely means the top joint has cracked and was crudely repaired using a socket ring. That can always be redone using carbon fibre which will make it far less conspicuous, or if it's holding well and you don't mind that DIY appearance, then you can always live with it as it is.
I'm guessing it was made by either Couesnon or Dolnet - both well respected makes in their time.
