Mouuthpiece for late 30's Buescher 400 Trumpet?

[Treozen]

Hello all -

First, I'd like to thank the forum for the great information - I spent hours last night scouring old posts and forums for opinions, etc, and found it very useful.

I've bought a Buescher 400 trumpet, and there seems to be some confusion over its exact date - serial number as advertised is 289133, but from pictures it looks to be 380182 - both of which I believe could be correct for a 400, except that one would be post -war late 1930 and the other, closer to 1960?

My main question however, is on a mouthpiece. I have no experience picking mouthpieces, and I've also read that perhaps some vintage trumpets require a different mouthpiece - shorter shank maybe? Regardless, my question is about what mouthpiece you all might recommend given this instrument, and a beginner-level player. I did play some about 28 years ago, but I am considering myself back to square one. I do play other instruments as well, but no other brass.

I figure some might ask what sort of sound I'm going for....well...anything that's not a duck jammed in a door, to start. After that, something with a 1940's feel......or just the William Tell Overture, to annoy my teenager while she rides her pony.

Thanks,
Allan.

The Bach 5C generally works pretty well in these horns, if that's a size you can use.
