NOS P-15 Plastic hood lens $$$

[Ed Griffin]

I dont normally like to post items off ebay but there may be a select few out there who would be willing to pay the big money for this since they dont show up much. Just came across it window shopping, not mine. Item number: 300105891366

My good friend Jim Finnance from Conn has reproduced an exact replacement of the insert and it is crystal clear and way less $. I can get his number if folks are interested.

Folks (me) are interested

Bob,

I might be interested too, depending on how much "way less" is. How much does your friend want for his?

[Bob Riding]

I'll call him and find out...seems like around $150, but I may be off.

[Norm's Coupe]

Bob,

That is half the price on ebay but still at least $100 more than what I would pop for.

Me too

I talked with Jim today and he has a few left. The guy that helped him make the mold has left the company, so once he sells this lot, that will be it. His price is $125. These are better than NOS. They are crystal clear and the logo is very sharp. If you want the rechromed hood ornament + insert it's $275.

I will say they do look nice. Fit fine and design is good.

Gents,

I think I have an extra base laying around without the glass. I'll scrounge for it if somebody wants it for postage and a 6-pack.

Randy;

If it is in better shape than my pitted (should say buggered) up nose piece I am interested. Believe your beer of choice is Budweiser. Do you still store it under your house?

[BobT-47P15]

Don, have you tried removing your plastic insert and cleaning it with car wax on the inside. That can sometimes help its clarity, at least a little bit. However, it won't do anything for the pitting.

You have probably noticed people selling ornaments like yours on ebay saying they are perfectly good, but will need replated. So you have a $10 or $20 item there.

Dawn dish washing soap also works great cleaning the inside of the inserts. I cleaned mine that way after picking up a newly rechromed hood ornament. Got it for a lot less than $150 though. The person I bought it from didn't have the insert so used my old one.

Don, check your "Private Messages".

My insert is not in bad shape. The pitting is the issue.

[Robin (UK)]

Don,

I'm sure I have a spare hood ornament in far better shape than yours.

I'd happily send it to you for the price of the postage, but I'm guessing that from the UK it would be about 15 or 20 bucks.

If you can't get one cheaper, closer to home, let me know and I'll find it in my garage and pop it in the mail.

Thanks Robin;

I will let you know. I am watching another located in the western mountains. If it does not go too high I will try it. If I am out bid I will let you know.

Don,

I have tomorrow off and will check it out then. The house I wrote about has long since been demolished and turned into condums.

Condums? Interesting.

----- How Latex Gloves are Made

A dentist noticed that his next patient, a very elderly lady, was

looking

very nervous, so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his

gloves.

"Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked.

"No, I don't." she replied.

"Well," he spoofed, "there's a building in China with a big tank of

latex

and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands,

let

them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the

right

size."

She didn't crack a smile. 'Oh, well. I tried,' he thought.

But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the dental

procedure,

she burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"I was just picturing how condoms are made!" she said.

You've gotta watch those little old ladies! Their minds are always

working!
