What materinal is the mouthpiece ? metal ? brass ?

Overal a nice piece. 80-100 years seems like a possibe age to me as well.

Hello Willem,

have hoped that you chime in since I know that you own some great sumpitans. Thank you very much for your educated opinion.
The mouth piece is from brass and shows a good old patination.

Best regards,
Detlef
