I came across an old rubber mouthpiece that plays great but I don't know what brand it is.
It is very hard to make out the markings, and there is no marking I can find on the bottom right hand side or in the front anywhere. It has 2 lines total, one near the top of where the lig goes, and one about 3/4 from the bottom. Hard rubber, has been worked on, has very wide rails and the tip is in good shape. On the back, it reads trade mark (with at least 3 or 4 spaces in-between the words). Inbetween those words there is an icon of what looks to be a music lyre. There is some sort of flying bird insignea, maybe an eagle, that is engraved right above that. The bird is intricately engraved with lots of lines.
The mouthpiece has a slight patina, mainly at the bottom.
I am familiar with markings from Lelandais, Selmer and some others, but have never seen these markings.
Help!?

Old Conn mouthpieces had an eagle as a logo.
Perhaps it is one of those

I'm sure you're rite, Alseg, it reminds me of my long-gone Conn [1920's ??] plastic C clarinet's logo. Yes the Eagle was a one-time trade mark, Perhaps "The Conn Loyalist" website may have pics or word description of their older marks. Or I suggest asking Debbi Reeves at NMM [USD Vermillion] as they have much Conn history on display etc. Luck, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
