This vintage B* was fairly popular in the 1960s, though not as much as the HS* and HS** Selmers of the same vintage. As I recall, the B* facing is close, just a little above 1.00 mm at the tip--a little more open than a Reserve X0 or Vandoren M13. The facing designation dates back to older vintage Selmer mouthpieces from the 40s and 50s as well, including the models with the oval S on the table and perhaps the "table" models as well.
Your vintage B* is fairly commonplace and usually sells for about $40-60 on the auction web sites. For several decades in the US (40s, 50s, 60s), Selmers were probably the most widely used clarinet mouthpiece, followed by crystal O'Briens, Vandorens, and Kaspars.
