TENOR MOUTHPIECE ID

I PURCHASED A METAL TENOR MOUTHPIECE IN 1968 MADE BY THE WOODWIND COMPANY, NEW YORK. MODEL # X601. I AM LOOKING TO REFURBISH THIS PIECE, BUT DON'T WANT TO DESTROY ANY COLLECTABILITY IT MIGHT HAVE. WOULD ANYONE HAVE ANY HISTORY ON THIS MOUTHPIECE, AND POSSIBLY IT'S VALUE ? THANKS !!

    Hello, Unfortunately I've found that collectibility and value is always hurt by getting a mouthpiece altered in any way. Although it may play much better, the value is significantly decreased. An all original Slant signature otto link 8 for tenor might sell for $1200 and up, if it got refaced you would be lucky to get $600. Obliously the quality of the work is very important, so if you choose to have it refaced send it to someone who is reputable. Good luck
