The Meyer you have is the Meyer Bros.' first mouthpieces. Check Theo
Wanne's Saxophone Mouthpiece Heaven for information on them.

They do have a larger chamber than the more sought after Meyer Bros., and
less projection. But they're still nice. If you decide to sell it
sometime, I might be interested. }:-)
Theo sells the pricier Meyers for tenor around $130-ish the before and after
models usually go for the $60-$90 price range I think.

The tenor was advertised as a Cigar Cutter...it actually isn't....if it
was a little younger, it would be, but it just barely missed the mark,
making it a Super at 18334. The horn itself seems to be in VERY nice
condition, with typical laquer wear that you'd find on a 20-30 year old
horn, instead of a 55 year old horn. To my utter delight, it came
equipped with a Meyer mpc...although I use an Otto for tenor playing, I
certainly look forward to playing the Meyer for a bit to see what it's
like. It is not, however, like any Meyer I've ever seen before (keep in
mind that I'm a mere 22 years old, and mine eyes have to see many wonders
of the musical world). The facing number is printed on the back (it's a
5) and the standard 'info diamond' that I'm accustomed to seeing on Meyers
is not on the facing. Instead, there is a long, very shallow canyon in the
facing, in which is printed "Meyer TruFlex Facing"! Indeed, something very
different. At least to me.
Is this one of the 'classic' large bore Meyers I've heard so much about?
You know, the kind we all wish they used to make...the kind Cannonball
used to play on, etc etc etc?
(And uh...how much do you thing people would be willing to pay for it?
*grin*)
