Product ID: ISI13213BabbittAltoTC
This is a lot of 2 vintage Babbitt branded mouthpieces for the alto sax.
The first is an older series hard rubber piece, stamped Babbitt Artist. It is a true hard rubber mouthpiece, showing mild oxidation and only light playing wear, such as surface scratching and whatnot. No cracks or deep scratches/wear, and very minor dings here or there. Nothing that affects play. The piece is stamped a 2 just to the right of the table, and measures .070”. The facing/tip/rails do appear to be original.
The second piece is stamped simply “Babbit” and is a black plastic mouthpiece. As a plastic piece, it shows scratches more easily, but like the first, it is all just cosmetic wear, with nothing that would affect play. It could use a good cleaning inside and out, but is otherwise in very good physical condition. The facing is original, with tip measuring .060”.
