OTTO LINK New York Slant Signature Tone Edge (1946-1955)

It has become common practice to call all Otto Link Slant Signature Tone Edge mouthpieces Florida vintage.  In fact, the first Tone Edge Slant Signature mouthpieces were manufactured in New York, before Otto Link moved his company to Pompano Beach, Florida.

 

 

Charecteristics of New York Slant Signature Tone Edge:

  • Facing stamp on the bottom of table
  • Otto Link stamp at a slant
  • Oval chain above Otto Link stamp

 
The best way to differentiate a New York Tone Edge from a Florida Tone Edge is the table facing stamp.  The Joe Allard facing Tone Edges are also Slant Sigs that were manufactured in New York as well.  Other than the table facing stamp there are virtually no differences.  If all of these mouthpieces still had their original boxes it would be easy to tell which mouthpieces came from where because the boxes were all originally labelled with the address of the Otto Link Co.
