Looks cool, but I don't know if it actually is. What's the story on these? PM me if you want, not trying to bad talk anyone's stuff if y'all don't like it.

Wasn't "Collegiate" Holton's student line of instruments?

The seller appears to have mostly trumpet and trombone mouthpieces. May think they price by the pound, hence the rather extravagant value attached to the tuba mouthpiece.

In my experience, eBay sellers always think the word "vintage" doubles or triples the cost of something.
Because of this, years ago I acquired an Olds Recording trumpet, complete with 30 year-old valve oil bottles in the case. I thought it would be funny to sell them as "vintage valve oil - a real collectible!" for around $100 and see if someone actually takes the bait. Never did, though.
