Barrel and key rings look vaguely like an early Couesnon but don't take that to the bank... it could be anything.

Hey all,
Boy, do I have a treat for you. This is the first and so far only one of these I've ever come across!
A pre-1920 Boosey & Co. A clarinet, in the original double case. Unfortunately, it's missing its Bb companion.
Amazingly, this comes with a serial-matching mouthpiece (never seen that before). Oddly enough, the mouthpiece appears to be plastic, which is somewhat anachronistic.
Curiously, the clarinet is marked "GUARANTEED" British Made. I wonder why they had to strictly GUARANTEE it being made in Britain...
In any case, check out the gorgeous engraving!
