Studebaker Hamilton Plant Bricks

[Stu Chapman]

If the Hamilton Chapter can recover a quantity of bricks from the Studebaker Hamilton Plant, currently being demolished, how much of an interest is out there from members who would be willing to pay $5 for one of these bricks, delivered to South Bend this May? Since a quick decision is necessary, respond here, or send me a PM. I will need responses no later than Monday January 14th. At this point, nothing is guaranteed but if we are able to make this offer then reservations would be on a first come, first serve basis to the limit of our supply.

Stu , if a few people want one that can't get to SB swap but the International , I'd be willing to take a few out there....say 6 , no more.

Put me down for a couple, if possible, one if the demand is high, delivered to Colorado. If that won't work, I still have relatives in South Bend that may be able to collect them for me. Just let me know.

I'll take one Stu, It should fit on the one I have from Bldg. 84 and the foundry.

I would like one and would bet that our chapter could be good for 10 or more. I'll ask at our next get together.

I would take a few, maybe 5 or 6.

[COMMANDERPINK1]

I also would be interested in a couple Stu.

Sign me up. I have a friend of mine that wants one too.

[Corvanti]

I would take a few, maybe 5 or 6.

i'll take 2 more, if Jamie has room to bring them back to NC!

Just a thought, but once these bricks are in the US, they could be shipped resonably by Priority Mail. They have different size boxes that ship for a flat rate. The medium and large boxes, $11 and $15 would hold multiple bricks so if several members from an area wanted to share shipping.......Just a thought.
Stu, will there be any documentation with these bricks? A rose tone picture of the Hamilton Plant, dated and signed by a highly regarded Studebaker of Canada Executive, like yourself?

[StudeDave57]

I'll try to remember to mention this at my Chapter's meeting tomorrow.


If nothing else- between Dad, Mike and Me we'd like one each.
But I'm almost certain we won't be in SB- can that work?

[Chris_Dresbach]

When I was shipping out Foundry bricks and bottles of cores sand I always used flat rate priority boxes. They are fairly cheap to send and seem to work well for bricks.

[Bordeaux Daytona]

I would like a couple. Thanks!

Canada Post does not have the same flat rate program as the USPS so we would not be getting into any shipping situation. If we do have a quantity available for the U.S. it will be very limited. And no, we will not be planning any documentation. We'll keep you all posted Tuesday morning; please remember this is all very tentative.

[Welcome]

Good luck with this generous offer!!!

Over the years there was a lot of "interest expressed" by many in our "imported" so they could be much more desirable.
