I got an old hardbat from my grandad. From around the 50-60s. If I would take away the old hardbat rubbers, and put on some old professional rubbers i have laying around, could i perhaps get a decent paddle. Are old hardbat blades good quality?

first take the old rubbers off and hold a straight-edge over the blade. They are often warped and bend.
If it is straight - why not 😁

The blade is perfectly flat, no chipping on the edges, and the lacquer is great. 👍😁

Rubbers age even when they are not in use. So bear in mind that those “old professional rubbers” you have may not be usable.

UpSideDownCarl;352234It may be a collector's item. Take photos of it. Post on the forum. Let's see what you have.

There is a possibility that it is worth more how it is than it will be if you mess with it. :)
Heres some pictures, it is a St Brite, i find hardly any information about this brand, it seems to be a japanese brand, I am from sweden btw, The wierdest thing is that the rubber is blue, the only pictures i have seen of these hardbats are either green or red?? 😃

Oh man. It is in great shape. Don’t do anything to it. Keep it how it is.

Back then they made rubbers of all kinds of colors.

Yessir 😁👍, I have another old lion blade where the rubbers are already off because they were completely wrecked, I'll just use that one 😁
