--The photos I took inside this evening gave a yellowish tinge to the silver plating, but the plating is intact except as noted/pictured and it's definitely normal silver plate color. I will take some better shots outside tomorrow.
Good condition for a mouthpiece that likely dates from the 1930s 40s or 50s, with a couple of medium-deep scratches on the rim playing surface and a couple medium-deep dings on the inner rim. These defects did not affect playing for me. No raw brass feel, smell or reaction either, but I am not one of those folks who is super sensitive in this regard.
I would guess that this mouthpiece has been replated at some point, judging by the near absence of insertion marks on the shank and the faint engraving.
