I found a very odd old wood clarinet - any ideas?

1) It's wood. All of it. Mouthpiece included.

2) The keys are very different. I didn't have much time to look at it fully because the shop was closing and I was behing shown the door.. but a few things I noticed (I'm sorry, I don't know if all the keys have a name so I'll say which ones by what finger goes where)

The area where yoy place your left index finger.. it's just a hole. It's different then my clarinet.

I think where your left little finger goes (like I said,. I was being rushed out the door).. just two keys formed together to shape an oval with a funny wood insert (bead like) that rolls.

Far less keys then a normal clarinet.

3) No name/number anywhere an the thing.

4) The case said "king" but I don't know if is the case that came with the clarinet.

The thing is in pretty good shape. Even the pads looked good. No cracks, chips, nothing. It could use a cleaning though.

From that shotty description, anyone have an idea of what kind of clarinet this is? Of course not brand, but style. It's kind of odd. I'm going back up there on monday to take another look. Anything I should look for?

I'm going to dig around the internet and see if I can happen on a photo of what it looked like.
