Hello. Does anyone know of a source of the brass flanges used on Chickering grand hammershanks 80 to 100 years ago? I've check all the suppliers I know of. None of the regular wooden ones makes a good substitute. I know you can get the wippen flanges. By the way years of pressure on the center pin will make the brass of those wippen flanges spread out enough to scrape the bushed fork of the wippens, causing sluggishness. They don't make them like they used to. ===== Les Conover, RPT NM Chapter Albuquerque, NM __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
