Yes!

Both are in fact Brilhart Tonalin Alto mouthpieces, but the Streamline is a
"streamlined" version of the "normal" Tonalin. Whilst Charlie Parker mostly used the former, Stan Getz used the latter between 1950 -1954

The other way of looking at them is that they are overpriced second hand Graftonites!

Kind regards

One comes with the Art Deco Ligature, the Ligature alone is a collector's item and often sells for big bucks.
Edit: The Lig in the pic is a so-called "double B" Lig, there are also "AB" Ligs (Initial Letters A and B on the screws) which are very rare indeed, and consequently can sell for even more.

Mine's got a 1960's campagnolo downtube gear clamp screw - any offers?

Already got one of those, thanks. Never thought to use it as a lig, though.

Is that the Titanium variety? My Harry Quinn had the lugs brazed to the frame so didn't have that as an option during my cycle racing/time trial days.

Wot, Titanium ? - brazed on lugs ? Mighty Quinn ? I had to support my bike road racing / time trialing habit with a paper round, earning the princely sum of 17 shillings and sixpence per week, mornings evenings and sundays. I used to drool over pics of Cinelli frames with brazed on lugs. I'll buy one one day and hang it on the wall.

Ha, Cinelli? I had a Benelli road bike which had one of the first gearhangers fitted to the lugs in my club (Chippenham Wheelers!)

The titanium bits were funded by my milk round I did every morning at 4.00am start before school, kids today don't know they're born, "....cuz we had it tough (in yorkshire accent)....., we used to have to get up half hour before we went to bed, lick road clean wit tongue, eat handful of hot gravel....."

And so on

Ugh, what awful colours! They look like medical devices badly matched to caucasian human skin. Whatever they are I wouldn't put MY lips round them.
