Over 60 years ago, I was working my way through engineering school by playing
in small club bands and a 16-piece college dance band on weekends. Funds were
tight, but I splurged on one luxury, a Bob Dukoff professional mouthpiece for
the alto sax. It is still with me, scarred and no longer in use, but it
provides a souvenir of happy times.
Bob Dukoff was better known for his Tenor mouthpieces, used by many pros, but
he also made a small number of Alto mouthpieces as well. I purchased mine from
a former GI who was in school with me at the time.
The fancy box:

The mouthpiece itself, well used but perfectly serviceable after many, many
years:
