But does anybody wonder about the composition of the metal of any mouthpiece made in the west, which, for all we know, could very well be made with Indian or Chinese or whatever prejudicial location in the world takes your fancy and excites your antennae ?
Does any mouthpiece ( made currently or in the past ) maker reveal the composition of any metal or plating or talk about it in an information sheet?
Does anybody think of the less than remote possibility that many vintage mouthpieces might contain high level of a number of contaminants that were allowed backed then and are no longer allowed?
Is distrusting anything Chinese on principle being based on any factual things specific to the item in question...... other than being based on other (toys, milk scandals) unrelated product?
I have given before a list of American product recalls for American made items, let alone that one shouldn't trust crossing any bridge in America due to many authorities failing to deal with failing bridges structures........should then one, because of it or those recalls distrusts the entire American production and control system once we know it doesn't always work?
But we've been there numerous times. :shock:[rolleyes]:faceinpalm:
