Vintage Early Blessing Trumpet Mouthpiece #10 From Old Music Repair Shop NY

Description

Vintage Early Blessing Trumpet Mouthpiece #10. I circled and labeled the areas where the word “BLESSING” and the number “10” are located. I think it may be an earlier mouthpiece than other Blessing mouthpieces due to the unusual location and size of the word “Blessing” compared to other ones I’ve seen but I can’t be sure. Check out the photos and see for yourself.
I believe it is brass under the silver plate but not certain.
I got this from an elderly trumpet player who also had an uncle who ran a musical instrument repair shop for decades in New York. This mouthpiece is from this large lot. Due to the amount of years these mouthpieces span I can’t say what era these mouthpieces are from. Look for other mouthpiece and instrument listings - I will be posting many more from this lot.
