It's a Nilo W. Hovey model mouthpiece (Brilhart), one of the standard issue mouthpieces included with Selmer student model clarinets starting in the late 1960's.

The facings were from A1 to A5, thus A3 would be in the 'medium' range.

I also seem to remember that there were facings from B1 to B5, but do not recall how they differed from the "A" facings...GBK
