Interesting Jim! Perhaps we could do some collaborative efforts. I have about eighty gazillion ideas for cool projects, and the diemaking is always the bottleneck. (I've sytematically eliminated the other bottlenecks... fixtures, blanking etc) I have an image library of some five thousand vintage hubs with images of just about anything imaginable. I am using either the Gorton P1-3 or reverse letter stamps for inscriptions... neither of which is looking as good as I want them to. The problem is paring all those ideas down to something doable and with enough market potential to cover costs. And of course, keeping it esoteric enough that the "big boys" don't just take the idea and job it out to the Chinese to mass produce at 1/10 the cost.
