York mouthpiece?

A friend just purchased a York sousaphone and had it rehabbed by Dana Hofer. He asked if there was a "York mouthpiece" that the manufacturer shipped with the tuba or sousaphone, even if it was a stencil supplied by an actual mouthpiece maker.
If so, does anyone have one that they would sell? How much $$?
Thanks,
Steve

Here's one. There's bids on it, though.

To determine what you’re looking for you need to know what sort of York it is...
J.W.York & Sons?
York Band Instrument Co.?
York?
York Master?
The mouthpiece mentioned above is too early for a Sousaphone...

The horn is from 1929 and the bell engraving simply says: York / Grand Rapids, Michigan / USA.

Then they'd be looking for then is a York or YBIC "AL_TRU"
