H.N. White Co. T 1938 - Silver Mouthpiece

The H.N. White Company’s own mouthpiece catalog page lists the “King” line of mouthpieces, including the “T” model, and states that the 1938 catalog shows the mouthpieces and model numbers the company used until it was sold in 1965 H N White Company. The “T” model is identified in vintage listings and forum discussions as a trumpet mouthpiece with a 3C rim and cup, 19 throat, and a backbore typical of mid‑20th‑century King designs Trumpet Herald.

A vintage HN White “T” trumpet mouthpiece, offering the classic early‑20th‑century feel and tonal character the brand is known for. The “T” model provides a comfortable rim, a medium cup profile, and a warm, centered sound that works well for players who enjoy traditional mouthpiece designs or want a period‑correct piece for a vintage King or HN White horn.

This mouthpiece is in good condition with normal cosmetic wear from age and use. Silver plating shows light marks but no major dents or damage. Plays cleanly and seats well in the receiver.

A solid choice for collectors, vintage‑gear enthusiasts, or players looking for an authentic HN White mouthpiece with classic response and tone.

The company’s research archives confirm that mouthpieces were not featured in catalogs from 1945–1965, suggesting the “T” was phased out after WWII H N White Company. This aligns with forum accounts of players using the “T” in the 1940s–1950s before switching to other models Trumpet Herald.

Why no exact year is given

H.N. White did not publish a formal “release year” for the “T” model in its marketing materials. The available evidence is based on:

• Catalogs: The 1938 King catalog shows the “T” in production H N White Company.
• Archival records: The company’s own site and research archives list the “T” as part of the King line until the late 1930s/early 1940s H N White Company+1.
• Collector and player accounts: Vintage listings and forum posts confirm use in the 1940s–1950s
