Which of the many Helleberg type mouthpieces is most like the Kellyberg?

The original Conn Helleberg... NOT the Conn 7B.

Thank you. It really isn't that dumb of a question.

I certainly didn't say it was a dumb question. It's a pretty good question because there are several 'Hellebergs' out there... with minor differences. I have both an old Conn Helleberg and a Kellyberg and without doing a precise layout, I think they are pretty close. I had a Schilke-Helleberg that sucked and I finally just sold it very cheap.

Jim Kelly might chime in to let us know exactly which Helleberg he used to model the Kellyberg.
