We ended up with a mouthpiece stamped "WOLFE 3" in an action lot acquisition, and I've been unable to come up with any kind of reference on what it's comparable to. Kind of looks Helleberg-ish internally?
Guessing it's a private-label house brand kind of thing. Any clues?
Wolfe 3 Mouthpiece?

I saw one of those on eBay recently. My immediate thought was Chinese, but that was just an assumption. No idea about the name.

Re: Wolfe 3 Mouthpiece?
Given some of the casting and plating flaws on what appears to be an otherwise new sample, it would not surprise me. Couple/few small pits on the interior that appear to be casting flaws, and some high spots on the exterior that probably could have been correcting with a few more seconds on a buffer wheel. It came as part of a set of 4 for $20, along with a Bach 7, a Faxx "fhb" and an unknown horn or maybe trumpet MP in a lot.

Re: Wolfe 3 Mouthpiece?
I got a few of these with the Leviathan. They are okay.
I assume they were the seller's make of mouthpiece.
Seller also included some fantastic postcards featuring instruments and livestock, if recall correctly.
I really liked that exchange.
