Vintage/ Berg Larsen/ alto mouthpiece               

métal 80/2 SMS offset denim table 50's-60'

 Scoop Bill Alto mouthpiece  with original ligature and  cap

  The older mouthpieces had a denim look to the table which was created by a stone grinding wheel

"Bergs with a very pronounced upward scoop right behind the bite-plate are called ‘Scoop Bill’ Bergs

. These all have a straight drop off at the back of the baffle. These did not change in design very much from the early 1950s through the 1980s. The only real change was the machinery used to make the facings during the above mentioned manufacturing plant change." (theowanne website: knowledge/mouthpiece-museum/berg-larsen-mouthpieces)

 Old Bergs run about .005″ small, so  this 80/2 can be really a 75/2 = as a 5 or 5* by Otto Link.
