Roc 5* mouthpiece

About a year ago I bought a Roc 5* clarinet mouthpiece, I just love it, I never thought I would get something I preferred to my Vandoren 5JB.

I just thought I would mention it.

"ROC = Stands for Rudall O. Cocker (not Republic of China).
The piece was made in England, possibly by Rudall O. Cocker, who sold out to Boosey & Hawkes sometime in the 1930's. It is interesting that the logo used on the piece is very similar to one common to Boosey & Hawkes in post war years. The logo is a circle, around an eagle with spread wings. His talons rest on the O of ROC, the initials of the maker. Imprinted beneath the logo is "Made in England" There is a brass ferrule on the first 1/4" of the shank, and it has a sleeve of hard rubber inserted in the total length of the bore."

Is this what you're talking about? Is this an old mouthpiece?
