We already knew 2 models of metal Humanatone (see this post), and this one belongs to the first type, with rectangular flaps and rounded air duct cover (even though it is dramatically dented here).
What is interesting in this flute are the stampings : « HUMANATONE - TRADE MARK - THE NEW MUSICAL WONDER », and precisely there are no Patent numbers. Since it corresponds to the early shape, I'm inclined in thinking we have here a very early Humanatone (since the stampings on both other known Humanatone include the patents : see this post).
