Vintage Purviance Los Angeles trumpet Mouthpiece 8M B

Description

Cleaning out my personal mouthpiece collection...
Here is a Purviance Los Angeles (Bob Reeves) piece I purchased in 1983 as part of a lot from Meyers Music in Seattle when they were closing their doors.
I bought these eight pieces, tried them long enough to know that none would replace my Schilke, and put them in a box.
They are virtually un-played
.
So yes, all of these are in great like new condition, perhaps tiny drawer dings on shanks or rims but nothing that will affect playability.
They have all had a bath in the pink cat urine (Empire Silver Dip)
This one is marked PURVIANCE LOS ANGELS with the trademark circle (r) in front
On the shank it's marked 8 M B
***note this one does have a visible ding in the outer rim (see photo #3)***
I checked out Bob's site and see that they still make some of these models, but since these are at least 37 years old...I figure it's a better piece than today's equivalents (nowadays musical instrument brass used by manufacturers is required to have recycled material mixed in...this is more likely better quality brass).
From the Reeves website:
VINTAGE PURVIANCE TRUMPET MOUTHPIECE
We are honored to offer the mouthpieces of Carroll Purviance, the famous custom mouthpiece maker in Hollywood, California, who gave Bob Reeves his start in the 1960s. Bob Reeves inherited Purviance’s tooling in 1969 and we continue to use it today.
These go now for 0 so I'll put an asking price on this (essentially new) piece at 5. I'll pay shipping via USPS Priority Mail.
