repro No. 9 aerial bases
I am in the process of making a few No. 9 aerial bases, the 5" and 10" versions. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will add it to the run. Cost will be about $85 for the short one, and $90 for the tall one. These will be exact copies of the two samples I have, pictured below, only more symetrical as the bases were sheared on the original, and I will be machining the bases on the repro's, they will be furnished primed, not painted(unless I can come up with the proper wrinkled finish with paint, and no stenciled numbers. Not looking for a financial commitment, just numbers. I will post photo's of the finished product when done(in a few weeks). The original screw size is #6-40, if anyone wishes, I can tap theirs #6-32, as #6-32 screws are more readily available in the correct head form and length.

Very nice Perry. For anyone that doesn't know, Perry does some exceptional machining work.

They don't have to be wrinkle-finish, I've got some that are plain matt in OD or SCC No.2 (later: Service Brown) and have the stores code stamped into the metal rather than stencilled.
Your repro versions look Far Too Nice compared to my originals, though. Exceptionally good work. Chris. (Finished the house move (I think) now waiting for my back to recover.) |

I think the examples in Perrys pictures are originals, at least, that's how I understood his posting.
Like Chris, all my originals in green and brown have been smooth paint and stamped. I suspect Perrys are US or Canadian made.

To be clear, the bases pictured in my first post are the originals I am copying, NOT the reproductions. The repro's will be exact copies of these two originals dimensionally, not the paint finish or stenciling.
