Horn button for Frosty

[Jerry Forrester]

About a year ago I restored the horn button for Frosty (the 1955 Commander Deluxe Studebaker formally known as Rustobaker).
Cleaned all the paint off the backside, repainted it and re-chromed the ring. then I put it up so it wouldn't get lost. I hid it well. I've looked for it for two weeks now and have not been able to locate it. Do any of you kind gentlemen have an extra? I also need the base that the button twist's onto.
Here's a pic of the one I need.

Oh that stinks. Sorry I dont have one, but I thought I would say sorry.

I might have one. I'll have to check.

[Jerry Forrester]

I might have one. I'll have to check.

Bob, you were the exact gentleman I had in mind as I was typing that request. Thanks.

Now if Bob is willing to open his Curio cabinet and part with it...hopefully he has 2 so he will not have an empty spot in the glass case or the coffe table.

Jerry,

I've got 5 or 6 boxes of horn buttons - alot of which are Brand X stuff. The LAST one I thought to look yielded this button here. The metallic gold is actually nicer than the one in my display, but the plastic has a bit more crazing, so this one's an extra.
SI has had the red-colored edition of these all along (NOS) Part# 533224 I looked for it in the new catalog, but it's not there. However, if you look it up online, it still comes up, albeit with a heftier price. I only offer this info in case you want one without crazing to use or to recolor. I'd be happy to part with this old one if that's what you want to do.

Boy...am I glad you posted this! I thought I was the only one with such talent for misplacing stuff. You will find yours only after buying another and when looking for something else.

[Roscomacaw]

Yeah - at our age, (at least in my case) I keep making these great finds all the time. Stuff I bought and stashed and completely forgot I have! Cheap, perpetual thrills!

Jerry, I'd be happy to part with this old one if that's what you want to do.

I was hoping you would come through Bob. I knew that the odds were in my favor that you would.
Please send it to 3990 Bankhead Hwy, Douglasville, Ga. 30134. USPS Priority Mail would be great.
Put a note in with it as to how much I need to send you.
thanks, Jerry

[Roscomacaw]

Will do. Leaves here tomorrow.

Thanks Joe, but I think Bob has got it handled
