I play trad jazz...currently I'm on a Pete Fountain Leblanc/Pomerico crystal mouthpiece (placed on an 1898 Conn Albert/Simple system. Before that I was on a Pyne Signature, before that I was on a Vandoren Lyre M13, before that I was on a Gigliotti (modified slightly by Ralph Strouff). The Pete Fountain Leblanc mouthpiece is really the only mouthpiece of my batch marketed as "Jazz" and I'm pretty sure it isn't all "that" jazzy in specs.

Honestly, I confess that I've never been much of a gear junky or cared what "the others" are using or did use. Perhaps I could gain a lot by understanding the various gear better, but at the same time - it is a specific sound/control/flexibility that I'm after...and what would work for someone else probably wouldn't work for me.

Unfortunately, this leaves me unable to address your second question about what the early folks used.

Always happy to see another trad jazz player on the boards!
