What do these symbols mean?

I was trying to get a shot of a clarinet that has some symbols that look to me like b then a sharp and then a natural. What are the makers trying to say here? This is on a Cabart clarinet and probably dates way way back, maybe to the thirties?
I can't seem to get that image to transfer for me, so here is the URL. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=17315929 . I'm not shilling for them. I am just curious about why they marked the clarinet this way.

It's just the Cabart trademark. I have an identical instrument. If the clarinet is in good mechanical condition it could be a very good buy for a restorer, Cabart made absolutely first class instruments. I paid a fair bit more than this price for mine and restored it plays very well indeed, with very good tuning and a sweet velvety tone.
