Extremely Rare Conn 22 Gold Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece

Description

When it comes to incredibly rare mouthpieces, the Conn Gold Tone is near or at the top of the list. In all my years of dealing in mouthpieces, I have ever even seen 1 other Gold Tone. This is the standard model 22.
The Conn Loyalist says this about the model:
These were produced, according to Conn, from 1932 to 1949. However, I have never seen one with a post-war instrument, and very much doubt these were produced after 1941. As for the start date, none of the catalogs I have seen dating between 1930 and 1941 mention Gold-Tone mouthpieces. Since they most certainly did exist, an actual start date is difficult to determine. Quoting the January 1969 issue of Conn Chord magazine: "Here was a significant departure from early mouthpiece making. The "Gold-Tone" mouthpieces were as much articles of showmanship as they were musical developments. In both appearance and comfort of playing this "Cushion-like" designed mouthpiece had much to offer the jazz bands and big dance bands of the '30's and '40's." (Copyrighted, 1968, By Conn Corp.)
This piece has some wear to the playing and some insertion marks. Please see the pictures!
