TonyI have been asked to refurbish a rather beautiful medical weighing balance made in the late 19th century . My main problem is that one of the hangers that sits on the knife edged arm ends is missing. Since we have its twin I know exactly how it should be formed. It is a small bronze casting rather too complex and decorative to be made by fabrication . I have tried to find a supplier, indeed I thought I had found one (Redlake?) but repeated emails have not even been acknowledged

Can anyone suggest a source, or at least a company that reads their emails?

Tony,

Have you tried :

http://www.abbeycasting.co.uk

Their web site says they do lost wax casting of small items. I suspect that's the one DC is referring to. Never used them myself – I've not had the need.

If you check 16mm, G1, and other medium small railway websites you should be able to zero in on the regular lost wax suppliers.

Tony , I had a duplicate earing made from the remaing one of a pair by CAD and lost wax by Franklyns ( 01422 354539 ) jewellers in Halifax. No connection with them other than as a customer .
