hi folks - can anyone make a guess as to the ID on this old baritone / bass mouthpiece?
I've no need for it, as I've sold both my baritones.

with a raking light, I think I can make out "100" or "100 T" on the shank, and just possibly the word "England"

It’s a very vintage Berg Larsen Duckbill piece.
Possibly a baritone piece with a tenor styled facing to take tenor reeds.

Good call.

Good call.

It was easy enough as I have one here, but mine has a normal Baritone facing on it.
Outstanding piece it is too.

thanks for the info. Bflat, could you share a picture or two, maybe with a ruler?? i’m surprised by the length and short shank.

Sure.
Here’s a couple of photos of mine alongside my later Duckbill piece.
The earlier one measures about 147mm and the other is closer to 141mm.
Both are great pieces but the Very Vintage Duckbill is the pick of the two.

thanks a lot, Bb, seems my hopes/suspicions are confirmed.
this mouthpiece will be for sale in the next few days, shipping internationally from UK.
