Post by: Doug Rose on August 30, 2012, 08:48:33 PM
Its about three times are heavy as the WE MP it is pictures with. 2" across with a big lip. WE is 1 5/8" across. It is the size of the lip taller than the WE. Brass threads with three splits. Has an S in the center on the back. Any idea on the Manufacturer?....many thanks....Doug

Doug-
That might be a payphone mouthpiece.
Its heavy because it is made of metal inside the black bakelite.

It does not fit a Western. With the "S" on the back I thought it might be a Stromberg Carlson, it swam around inside the SC transmitter. I am looking for a manufacturer....thanks...Doug

The only mouthpiece with metal threads I have goes to an AE transmitter.

thanks Larry....I'll give  AE a try. I do have metal threaded WE's that went on payphones as Howard stated, but also fit on a stick....Doug

Doug- This may help at least with what it might fit. http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=6896.msg78552#msg78552

You've either got a Kellogg (first choice) or a SC.  I see a lot of metal threaded Kellogg's for some reason.  I have several.

Send it to me, and I will let you know which transmitter it fits.  Also, send me some of you rare candlesticks just in case it doesn't fit any of mine ;)

There was a discussion here a while back that talked about what the "S" stood for.  I can't find the thread, and can't remember what it was.  Maybe someone can find that thread?
