Aluminum mouthpiece?

I recently came across an old York & Sons tuba mouthpiece which is extremely lightweight and yet not that small. The silver "plating" is so perfectly intact that I'm wondering if it's plated at all! Did York or any of the American instrument makers produce aluminum mouthpieces for a while? I know that they made aluminum string basses, (don't laugh, they really did!) but I've never seen an aluminum mouthpiece before.
