The classic hard rubber Brilhart model was stamped “Hard Rubber” on the shank. These used an amazing hard rubber compound that when ground to dust smells very sweet. These had a relatively high floor for the period, giving them great projection. They had a very short facing curve though, so tend to play better when a longer facing is added. These had a large round chamber with rounded inner-side walls very much like the Otto Links. The floor was a bit more rounded though. These are arguably as good or better players than the ‘Slant Signature’ Otto Links.
