Custom casting

Recommended Posts

I want to reproduce some copies of the 1911 LA TIMES Lakeside Endurance Run.

I have found an original 1911 trophy to reproduce.

It is about 13" Tall x 9.5" Wide x 7/8" Deep cast. Cast in bronze.

 

Can anyone recommend a good lost-wax reproduction casting company?

 

Anyone interested in repros?  These Makes were awarded trophies:

Halliday, Reo, Overland, Apperson, White,

Firestone-Columbus, Gilda, Autocar, EMF, Brush,

Kissel Kar, Jackson, Hupmobile, Pullman, Oldsmobile,

Halliday, Schacht, Flanders, Simplex, Lozier, Warren

This is a beautiful piece. Agree lost wax is the only way to pick up (preserve) that detail. Here are several suggestions:

I have not used either of these two, but they seem to cater to this type of casting:
