It's a Bass Clarinet mouthpiece, but seems slightly narrower than any others I've seen. The identification info is faded, leading me to believe the mouthpiece is at least somewhat old, perhaps 20-30 years. Here's what I can make out from the "signatures" on the piece:
(top) G (C?) oolm
(bottom) - What looks like either a treble clef or a reed, either way, with a smiley face on the top half, and either "Balhart" or "Bathart" following that directly to the right, and finally, moving right from the Bal word, a reed with several markings on the top half.
Then below the Bal word, there's a 3 and a star.
On the top of the mouthpiece, there's a large white-colored area presumably marking an area where one might put their upper teeth when biting down. And indeed, all of the bite marks that came with the piece are within that area.
I'm going to search for both Balhart and Bathart on google, and see if I can find anything that way, but any other help identifying this mouthpiece in any way, would be much appreciated.
