D. De Caprio Mouthpiece

Hello all,
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm primarily a Saxophonist who doubles on Clarinet, and my history/material culture knowledge of the latter is perhaps not up to the level of the former.
To get to the point, I recently picked up a late 40's vintage Selmer Clarinet for a steal (I have too many as it is, but that is another story), and with it came a vintage Hard Rubber Mouthpiece by a maker unknown to me marked D. De Caprio. A quick search revealed a sheet music publishing company by that name, but no history of instruments or mouthpieces by this maker/retailer.
This thing plays wonderfully, and I'm curious if anyone has any history, links and the like about this name? Any and all replies are much appreciated.
