"A. Bangle" mouthpiece info?

Just back from a visit to relatives and friends in California. At the Long Beach Flea Market, I bought a Cundy-Bettoney Three Star metal clarinet, probably from the 1930s. It came with an unfamiliar type of mouthpiece, and I wonder whether anybody knows anything about it. (Nothing in the Klarinet archives.) It's hard rubber, marked, "A. BANGLE HAND LAY 5." The odd thing about the mouthpiece is that the inside has several deep, long scratches that appear to have been made with a sharp metal object, such as an awl. The scratches are irregularly-shaped, but it's hard to imagine how they could have been inflicted by accident.
