Hi Karl,
It is the top ring on the bell, but it doesn't bother me that it's loose. I just had another look and the ring is held in place by some dried up old glue which makes the wooden part a bit wider and kind of grippy like sandpaper, so the ring doesn't rattle. I think the glue must have been added on one of the many reconditionings, because the ring no longer falls off (I had forgotten that).
The glue has long-since ceased to have any adhesive effects, so it just adding a bit of girth to the wood now. It's a bit like having limescale or sand on a moving part that stops it from moving properly and causes a grinding noise when turned, except in this case that's a good thing.
The old clarinet is really very disheveled and I don't play it any more, but I just wanted to mention about the loose ring, because it really doesn't cause any problems on this instrument. It's all the other problems that are the tricky ones. :-)
