I had this one tested, and apparently it's from the Paleozoic Era.

Do y'all ever have any of y'all's tested...??

I knew someone who played with a Helleberg more worn than that. He was in his 70s and had the mouthpiece from university and t was stamped with the university name and their inventory number. Every few months he would give the rim a new coat of clear nail polish to "prevent copper poisoning".
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
