Now how do you look for a clarinet? (an old one)
Best bet is ebay, this forum, or music shops...
Use search terms like "Old" "Vintage" or "antique" clarinets because many people won't know what "Albert" or "German" type is.
Also you have to make sure they are not selling an HP (Unless you want one)
If there are no markings ask for the length:
For LP (A=440 Hz)
C: 23.5" (59.7cm with mouthpiece) or 20.5" (52.1cm without)
Bb: 26.5" (67.3cm with mouthpiece) or 23.25" (59.1 cm without)
A: 27.75" (70.5cm with mouthpiece) or 25" (63.5 cm without)
For HP (A= 451 Hz)
C: 22.75" (67.9cm with mouthpiece) or 19.5" (49.53cm without)
Bb: 25.5" (64.8cm with mouthpiece) or 22.5" (57.15 cm without)
A: 26.75" (67.9cm with mouthpiece) or 23.75" (60.3 cm without)
NOTE : the above is not absolute!!!! Some manufacturers use different sizes sometimes +-1/2 inch.
