Vintage Bach Trombone/Baritone/Euphonium No. 350 Mouthpiece 6-1/2AL NOS

Description: Sealed in plastic, in an opened box. New old stock. See photos. Info. from box:"BachGenuine Bach Mouthpiece...No. 350 Trombone/Baritone/Euphonium Cup 6 1/2 ALFrom the makers of famous Vincent Bach Stradivarius brassesThe Selmer CompanyElkhart, Indiana" Mouthpiece is in mostly sealed plastic (small opening, can't get it out). It's tarnished, so...plated silver? I am not a musician, so I don't know the history of these items. This is yard sale find from a woman who said that her "grandfather was in a military band and played for President Truman's visit to Cuba." According to Wikipedia that visit happened in 1948. Wikipedia has a great article on the history of the Conn-Selmber company. "In 1958 Selmer acquired the Harry Pedler and Sons brasswind plant in Elkhart, starting in-house production of Bundy student-line brasswinds. In 1961, Selmer acquired the brasswind manufacturer Vincent Bach Corporation. Selmer moved production from Bach's Mount Vernon, New York facility to Elkhart in 1965 while retaining the premium line Bach Stradivarius. The services of Mr. Vincent Bach were retained for design of student-line brasswinds.[2]" ..."The employees at the Vincent Bach facility in Elkhart, Indiana represented by United Auto Workers Local 364, struck on April 1, 2006, and as of July 30, 2009, the union was decertified. Out of 230 workers that went out on strike approximately 70 returned with the remaining workers having been subject to recall until July 30, 2010.[5]" So that places these mouthpieces after 1965 and possibly as late as 2010.... but these boxes look very vintage to me, so I'm guessing they date from the 1970s or 80s.
