60's Correct Craft script emblems

Hello:
FreeportMan here -- in Akron Ohio.
Questions:
.1) Do you still have any metal CC emblems available?
.2) IF SO -- what is the price?
I might be interested in purchasing one of them from you.
Best regards and best wishes for a fine forthcoming Holiday Season.

Cooper you didn't look hard enough link to repo's

Pete, somehow I missed your first post on that topic... I just followed the link and sent him an email.

I just touched base with John B and may have found a better source on the plating too... so another plan is in the works!

I paid for theirs... I was fresh out of my own scrap.

Al, not a bad idea. Maybe I will offer both if I ever give it another go-around. I had high hopes for the lower cost aluminum option- Im bummed it didnt pan out.

For now, I believe I'll have 2 pairs of nice, original 60's emblems available to sell. One pair is being taken in on trade for the new brass/chrome, the other was mine that was used to create the molds. If anyone is interested, please email me: TRBenj@gmail.com

I also have a pair of original 50's emblems (10" long) that I will let go for a reasonable price.

thanks I understand .

Tim,
It's not the type of plastic that allows chroming but rather the prep. Plastics are sprayed with a conductive coating that allows them to be put in the plating tank. If you have ever seen the chrome peeled off plastic, you'll notice a coating under the chrome. Usually it's a grey color almost like a primer.

I haven't made any emblems in a while. I think the plastic is the wrong kind for chroming.

Tim D do you still make in plastic they look nice and I guess you can chrome plastic right ?

Dave, email sent!

Moj, I appreciate the input.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, the volume discount was really small (~5% for a run of 200). This is using the same sand casting process as they used for the trial run. Not sure theyre set up to do other types of molds/tooling to get the costs down for greater volume.

The original plan was to do a set in brass/chrome and another in aluminum... they had some problems casting the brass, so didnt even bother trying the aluminum- but had they been successful, the cost of those would be about half (since no plating would be required).

Right now its looking like the project is dead, at least for now. I think Im going to cut my losses and regroup. Maybe try to find a few different suppliers that can cut costs more effectively sometime down the road.

I still have one pair of new emblems that are not spoken for... so if someone wants them, email me: TRBenj@gmail.com

For those who are desperately looking for a pair and dont need something show quality, I have a set or 2 that I may be willing to part with. They vary in condition (some more pitted than others), but shoot me an email if youre interested.

Tim D,

How do those hold up? they would be better than the decals I have now.

I need to buy a vowel.

I dont mean to threadjack but I've noticed alot of interest for bowstops in this thread. For those of you who are interested in a bowstop, I just posted one in the for sale section.

So the 60's ones are longer ? I need a set for my 63 starflite
