WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

ROI?

I reckoned there was some meat in them at £80 each, so it turns out I wasn't far from the mark.

My original question still remains unanswered though, is a Vortz casting of unknown quality, that has been machined by A N Other, a Vortz wheel, and are these any more "desirable" than the die cast MS ones?

Not to me they aren't.

Or did they sell to Ireland???

Thanks Al.

Republic of Ireland was all I could think of

I reckon there is about £50 / wheel in machining costs and call it another £10 finishing as even if the buyer buys all 70 its only a tiny batch. That makes a manufacturing cost of around £160 / wheel. meaning a minimum reasonable selling price of £280 per wheel for a wheel of unknown pedigree.

IMHO Someone needs their bumps feeling.

Fake / repro Shorrock Badge, now up to £64 and still going.

I could get these made for about £3 each for a reasonable batch size. Some people are so stupid!

could this type be made ? I was thinking of casting one in brass for chroming then paint the black in

I have done a batch of those in the past. I could certainly get some more done.

They are not incredibly cheap, but are superb quality.

Downton Pins,
They are a new made item. Nothing to do with any of the incarnations of Downton.
