Selmer Sterling Make mouthpiece

Author: clarinet60

I recently acquired a vintage mouthpiece marked Selmer Sterling Make with a very old Selmer Depose clarinet with an articulated g#. I would estimate the clarinet to be from the '20's or '30's. Would anyone know anything about this mouthpiece? It definitely needs a refacing but appears to be a good quality blank. Thanks.

Selmer Sterling and Gold Seal clarinets were made for Selmer London by Malerne, though I'm not sure who made the mouthpieces for them - could it be Riffault?

Thanks Chris. It doesn't look like many of the Riffault's I've seen in the past (one line up, two down). This one has one line up and one down. It came with a clarinet that must be 60 or 70 years old...any other thoughts?
