Buffet & Chedeville and 1/3 lines, again

Author: Pat Parkin

Hello All,

I have an assortment of older hard rubber Buffet and Evette & Schaeffer mouthpieces, all of which have the much discussed "one line up, three lines down" that supposedly mark a Chedeville blank mouthpiece. There are subtle differences, however.

On three of the mouthpieces, the lines are about 1/16" apart. Of these, two are marked Buffet Crampon and one has no company mark. All three have "FRANCE" to the left of the table and a "C" to the right, but on the blank mpc the "C" is in a slightly larger typeface.

Four of the mouthpieces are marked "Evette & Schaeffer", have lines between 5/64" and 6/64" apart, "FRANCE" to the left of the table and "C" to the right, with the "C" in a typeface slightly larger than the anonymous mouthpiece above, and substantially larger than the two Buffet Crampon mpc.

The last mpc is a Buffet Crampon "C crown" with the lines 7/64" apart and all the other attributes.

Are all of these mouthpieces from Chedeville blanks or just some of them?

Thanks
