What's up with Bristol Bronze? They have been dark on internet and emails for months, and their phone has been disconnected.  JTVS

Roger's wife Carol died on March 1, 2021. That is all I know, but it makes sense that this would be the last straw. Roger is in his early 80s, so there is that as well.

I went by Bristol Bronze this past July and the landlord was there cleaning out what was left behind.  Was told Roger had moved out two weeks before and what was left of his hardware went to Rogers house.  The landlord tried calling his home for me but no answer.  Hopefully someone, someday will get ahold of the patterns and tooling and make good use of them.  The main thing I’m after is a replacement HMC late model ID plate.  JT

For a good replacement plate the best place to go to is probably J. M. Reineck & Son:
