Seller said she knows nothing about it but the bells reads "Imperial De Luxe - Made in France" -- any idea what it is? I'm guessing BBb, but maybe not?

Interesting coincidence - Denver, right? On Denver craigslist you may also find this one, where the seller is pretty clear that it's BBb.

School district recently unloaded a batch of them?

Looks like a Couesnon, to me.
