This could be a Meyer made after 1955.

Sounds like a Meyer made in USA that has had its branding worn off, probably been well played which to me means its a good keeper.

Yep !
@Punchysax have you received both sax & mouthpiece ? If so, how they play ? Is the mystery MPC better or worse on another tenor ? Does the NW1 play to your expectations on any MPC ?

Hi yes the horn is gorgeous was overhauled in 2020 and not been played much so played straight off the bat , the mouthpiece sounds very nice deep and mellow a easy blow , my other piece is a 1930,s rubber Chedeville which is a lighter fluffy sound. So whether the mystery piece is a Meyer or a Otto link or whatever else it could be it’s a lovely piece which I think has been with the horn for a few years.
