Harvey bought his little Conn CC from Abe Torchinsky for something like $200 when he began studying with Bill Bell, and used it for most of his career. It was lacquered brass during the 50s and 60s; some time around 1970 he had it overhauled and silver plated.
He told me that he once had a custom-made bakelite mouthpiece, which he kept in his jacket pocket. Swinging the jacket over his shoulder before a performance, he managed to break the mouthpiece. After that he always used a standard Conn mpc. because he could always find a replacement in any high school if he needed to.

These are rare and would be a cool addition to anyone's mouthpiece collection.

The cornet ones come up regularly on ebay... they're not too rare. Trumpet ones too. The rubber or ivory rim Conn mouthpieces (and Olds!) - now THOSE go for a fortune!
