Any idea what it means?
An old mouthpiece says it.
"Mica matic"?

Re: "Mica matic"?
Some cursory searching of this maker on the trumpet forum points towards them being made by Lausman(n) ca. late 1940s postwar.

Re: "Mica matic"?
Hmmm...
HornGuys apparently sell CNC replicas of Lausmann mouthpieces.
And there's this inteview: https://www.namm.org/library/oral-hist ... f-lausmann
Will i find anything else? is it referring to mica, the shiny flaky crystals occasionally found in rocks?
Or is there some other clever branding or wordplay going on?
I actually think it is a pretty good mouthpiece.
