Shell Stands
« on: October 02, 2014, 09:33:17 PM »
I was talking to Mike Roberts at J.S. Mosby the other day and he told me the maker of these shell stands is going
to stop making them. I need a few more if anyone has any they want to sell. Thanks

I thought the maker was not making them anymore.

  The maker of that particular version of shell-display stand is my old friend Donald F. Smith, who several years ago retired from the job where he made them. I still have a dozen or so just like the one in the photo, for 3"-caliber shells.  Send me a forum PM for details.

Regards,
Pete

Pete,

I sent you a PM about the shell stands. Let me know if you didn't get it and I'll send it again.
Thanks
