Trumpet	Short	Amati	Lew Davis		these Lew Davis-style pieces were included with Amati cornets sporting a Small Morse flugelhorn receiver, the "trumpet-cornet" style...this one came with an Olympian cornet, a stencil of the Lignatone 1210 ca. 1960s

Trumpet		Benge			Mouthpiece stamped "Benge" with no other markings of any kind. Plays exactly like the "Chicago Benge" cornet mouthpiece also posted to this database. Styling appears to be like the "Chicago Benge" trumpet mouthpieces. Styling does not appear to be like "LA Benge" trumpet mouthpieces. Styling is somewhat similar to the Benge-made Claude Gordon mouthpieces. If anyone can shed some light on where and when this mouthpiece was made, please let me know.

Trumpet		Hablawetz			Hablawetz-Graslitz Eb-flugelhorn/trumpet 1890s-1920s. pre-1929 - the Hablawetz mouthpiece manufacturing firm was established by Moritz Hablawetz (1862-1929) in Graslitz, Bohemia (Austria), 1884. After his death, his sons Josef & Franz continued the business as Brüder Hablawetz, hence the "Br. Hablawetz" seen later. After the brothers' expulsion from Czechoslovakia post-war, they changed to Gebruder Hablowetz, and the firm was eventually taken over by employee Bruno Tilz.
Trumpet		Hablawetz	11		1930s
Trumpet		Holton			Made in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Available in many sizes. Available in silver and gold plate finish. Very heavy when compared to a "normal" trumpet mouthpiece.
Trumpet		Holton			Made in Chicago, no other markings. Deep V-cup. Standard shank, but overall length is slightly longer than a modern mouthpiece.
Trumpet		Holton			Stamped: Frank Holton & Co. Chicago 23 Mouthpiece is the same length as a modern mouthpiece, but does not correctly fit a standard receiver. The shank seems to fit the same early Holton receivers that the Heim mouthpieces fit. (At least it fits in every such trumpet I have.)
Trumpet		Holton			Marked "Frank Holton & Co." No other markings or size indication. Appears to be standard length, and fits standard receivers.
Trumpet		Holton			Stamped "HOLTON", no other markings of any kind.
trumpet	Standard	Holton	63A
Trumpet		Holton	Collegiate		This one is gold plated, but was certainly available in silver plate as well.
Trumpet		Holton	Collegiate		Appears to have been made from the same blanks that were used for the Heim mouthpieces. Probably made in the 40s at the Elkhorn plant. Modern shank (not a Heim shank). Stamped "COLLEGIATE-BY-HOLTON.ELKHORN.WIS"
Trumpet		Holton	Galaxy		Appears to have been made from the same blanks that were used for the Heim mouthpieces. Probably made in the 40s at the Elkhorn plant. Modern shank (not a Heim shank).
trumpet	Small	Holton	Heim
Trumpet		Holton	Heim		FrankHolton Heim model 1 1940
Trumpet		Holton	Heim		This set was found in the case with a 1916 Holton trumpet. No reason to believe it was not "born" there. Named after Gustav Heim, who presumably worked with Holton to design this line of mouthpieces. The cornet cup is stamped "FRANK HOLTON CHICAGO." The trumpet cup is stamped "FRANK HOLTON." With the rim installed, the trumpet mouthpiece is roughly equivalent to the 1930s, Elkhorn-era Heim Model 1. The cornet mouthpiece, with the rim installed, is deeper than the trumpet mouthpiece. Does not appear to include any equivalent for the later Heim Model 2. Included an adapter (as shown) such that the cornet mouthpiece could be used with the trumpet. The trumpet mouthpiece and the adapter both fit the Holton Heim receiver and do not correctly fit modern trumpet receivers.

Tuba		Conn	Giant		Eb
Tuba		Conn	Helleberg		Early Model Cup stamped "H" Shank stamped "Conn BBb" Early Conn Helleberg mouthpieces made by hand and were subject to the vagaries of tool sharpness templates hand operations etc. Some played better than others. Some were smaller some were larger within a tolerance and often worked best with particular horns. Early tuba virtuosi identified and obtained superior copies. Those that played well extended their magic qualities to the entire genus. That added to the fact the early copies were easily identified by their profile led to to the value of all such mouthpieces models skyrocketing regardless of how they play. Added to that fact the idea that they are not making that particular version any more which always adds perceived value.
