And I have the brass rails. Thanks Bill, they arrived safely and are in
perfect condition. Now I need to figure out how much to offer you. I
think you asked how much they get for these things and Schaff says that
they duplicate them for $95 a section. So I may base my offer on some
percentage of that, lacking any other comparison. (You actually asked
about APSCO but I'm not aware that they do brass rail duplication.)

I do need to figure out what to do about annealing the metal so that
they don't become another headache. I've been making inquiries and will
post you as soon as I can find out what I'm in for.

Again, many thanks.

Tom
