We have not been able to get products from them for over a year, and believe they may no longer be able to produce.

With that in mind I am stepping up to try to reproduce the various top irons. First priority will be the 1932 and 1930-31 Deluxe roadster irons.

The dowel block is investment cast, using a 3D printed mold for the wax. The irons are laser cut, then formed. You can see the photo of the prototypes.

I hope to have the 1932 ones available in powder coated black (Standard), powder coated tan with polished stainless main iron (Deluxe) and polished stainless. Stock height or 2" chop.

I cannot guarantee a time frame, however the stock height one is CLOSE to a fully working prototype, possibly finished ones will be available as early as the Portland Swa(m)p Meet.
