john are you sure those are plastic?

i would think they would be some kind of cast pot metal for industrial use.

They can make it, have it done fast, and are very inexpensive.

With the right plastic it would be more than good enough.

Just go "borrow" that set off the door - send 'em to Bob (96z28ss) to have 'em scanned and then give 'em back -- he'll machine you some in real metal... :unibrow:

Not sure if the tapp plastics near you guys make stuff. The one here in Portland only sells plastic in sheets or in blocks.

Just take a tape measure and place it next to it and snap a pic.
No need to scan a spoon.

The Yogurtland near me doesn't have one. That pic I found online. I found this guy online : http://www.firstimpressionsint.com/customdoorhandles.html

I want the pizza peel one for the pizza place! He has a spoon one also in bronze.

Ron, It wouldn't roll. It is the handle to the front door
