Nedd help id-ing logo on mouthpiece

Author: salzo

Found a box of mouthpieces in my basement. Cant remember where I got them. Some penzels, conn precisions, noblets, and one that I cant figure out.
It is rubber. It has a Capital A, written angling right, with a swoop that loops around from the bottom that loops around to make the horizontal line in the A. THe A is in a box, and at the bottom of the mouthpiece is A45.
I am thinking Artley, but I am not sure.
It plays quite nice.

Sounds very much like an Artley logo and I have seen Artley A45 mouthpieces on the auction site before.

Oh, I am sorry...I sent a link to an eBay site that showed this Possible mouthpiece (photos), but I discovered it is against this forum rules. I am sorry!

Sounds more like the Armstrong logo - Artley and Armstrong clarinets are the same thing anyway.

It's probably an earlier version of the Armstrong logo.
