Another old one.

Post by BBB »

Any info on this.

I know it’s an imperial but the “DGWARE” bit?

Suspect that should be Edgware, probably an intermediate model named after factory location but if it says imperial elsewhere perhaps an imperial?

It appears that DG Ware was a company in Stourbridge, active in the 1930s, that produced glassware and might have also had silver or nickel-plating capabilities. ???

I vote for Edgware. Note that the left vertical line of the "box" has 3 lines coming off of it, making it an E.

The other logo on the bell is from Boosey and Hawkes, an English maker.

Yeah, looking more closely at that engraving, it now appears to begin with a kind of stylized 'E'.

Looks like Besson/B&H had a factory in Edgware.

Also, there are a couple of intermediate clarinets on eBay with B&H and Edgware on them...
