Powertone mouthpiece

Author: NOLA Ken

I was rummaging thru my collection of mouthpieces and ran across an old Powertone (no other markings) that I'd never tried. A search of this board and the internet turned up only smatterings of info on sax Powertone mpcs, but nothing on Powertone clarinet mpcs. The sax pieces are said to have been made for Boosey & Hawkes in the Brilhart factory in England. This one appears to be hard rubber. It turned out to have a really nice bold trad jazz sound on a large bore Leblanc, but this one clearly has some issues (warping?). Does anyone have any other information about Powertone mouthpieces?

More specifically, 1) who might be a good person to reface this one? (I've only dipped my toes into having mouthpieces refaced, but have come away with the impression that refacers often have expertise in certain types of mpcs.)
2) Alternatively, is there a contemporary mouthpiece on the market that is similar to the Powertone?

Any info will be deeply appreciated.
