The Ford Barn

Does anyone know the name of the guy from NY who did lost wax casting in stainless steel? Is he still in business? He used to set up and sell in Hershey every year. I believe he was a retired law enforcement officer.

If it's the same guy, I believe he was from Pennsylvania, not NYS. I sent him a rumble seat handle for a non-Ford car and he sent back the old one and a new one that needed some finishing work, which was known before hand.

I recall his ad stated that if you sent him a handle and their were shipping "peanuts" in it, he'd send it back without working on it because he didn't have time to chase the damn things around his shop. I got a kick out of it.

I believe he advertised in Skinned Knuckles magazine - I'll look back and see if I can find his ad, but I doubt he's still in business any longer.

He sets up in the orange field at Hershey
If you can get an old directory you might run him down

He was there a couple of years ago (last time I was there)
