What is this mouthpiece?

Years ago when I was just starting clarinet my mother's friend offered to give us two clarinets she had (both of her daughters played in highschool). Both clarinets are student models, so I have never spent more than five minutes playing around with them at any give time.

We had these instruments on a shelf for years and years, and today I decided to pull them down to look at them. My intrest was not in the instruments, but rather in the mouthpieces.

One is a Selmer HS**, but I've looked for the other on the internet and I have had no success. It is a Brilhart mouthpiece. On the front below where the ligature marks would be on other mouthpieces it has Nilo W. Covey in script, and to the right of the table at the very bottom of the mouthpiece is A3 (I assume this is the facing number). I searched every combination of 'brilhart', 'Nilo W. Covey', 'A3', 'clarinet', and 'mouthpiece' possible but everything that was coming up was only pertaining to one or two of the search terms. Most of the results were on Brilhart A3 sax mouthpieces or clarinet mouthpieces of different facings. I was unable to find any information on this mouthpiece.

I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this mouthpiece as to material, facing specifications, and possible age. Any help is greatly appreciated.
