Scott, I found one more today. Still has a bunch of its original galvanizing.

Piggybacking on this. Once Scott finds his, I could use one also. FWIW, none of my originals were dated.

Dave, are you looking for restored or unrestored? I have several restored ones without dates.

BCreekDave 05-13-2020 06:23 PM

Restored would be OK if they are hot dip galvanized. As long as it reproduces the spangle of the original parts.

Dave,

Here's a picture of one of the plugs I have plated.

Dave and Rich, Sorry, I lost track of this thread. I think I'm done for a while on the plugs. Passing the baton to Dave. Thanks, Scott

I will give away a trick I use and I am sure OTHER restorers use as well...

Zinc plate them then spray with ZINC COLD GALVANIZING then take a crumpled up paper or crumpled aluminum foil and "blot" at the surface to give it the spangled look.
The sharp edges of the paper replicate the crystaline look.
