Conn Chief VE Tuba Mouthpiece

[TheConnsequence]

Just won this nifty little piece a few minutes ago. Just wondering if anyone has any information on it? Thought 90 felt like too much at first so I thought about returning it. Any thoughts on that as well?

I think it is actually original. I've seen many corner and trumpet visible embochure mouthpieces but not in tuba before, especially a Conn Chief.

Thank you all for your help! I'm just glad I didn't overpay because it looks fairly interesting.
