A unique design: Straight side walls (think Brilhart) into a larger throat/chamber than narrows back to the neck bore size. Terrific material. I love all Steel Ebonite mouthpieces and this one is unique at that. The added ring at the shank is a great addition for long-term shank protection - the ring is silver plated and was photoed in un-polished condition.

(I've seen the same for Dick Stabile "Special" mouthpieces too)
The Mojo reface looks excellent, as always, and his markings are: "46, 080, Mojo +5".
There appears to be a small tooth groove under the clear bite pad. Nothing to worry about.
