Unusual mouthpiece

Author: clarinet60

I came across an old Buffet mouthpiece with a very old Couesnon clarinet (perhaps from the 1940's or 50's. - one line up, three down, with the logo below the bottom three lines. I figured this to be a Riffault or Chedeville blank. However, on the table on the mouthpiece, it is inscribed N1 and just above that in very, very faint lettering (I had to read it with a magnifying glass), it says Woodwind. Perhaps some of the mouthpiece experts out there could provide me with a bit of history on this one. Was Woodwind Co. making mouthpieces for Buffet at some time in the past? Is N1 usually found on Woodwind mouthpieces as I have seen it on Riffaults...
