NEW RRB BRASS HEAD BADGE

[Peatbog]

As a cheapskate, I would pay a max of, say, $25 shipped for one of these. Others might pay more.

Me too. I was used to paying about that for badges from the guy who quite making them. So I am pretty cheap also.

In any case, that is a really impressive looking badge. He did a great job on it. Its good for the sale that some people are willing to pay that. Good move putting it on eBay also.

You know what would be sweet? A Nickel Plated version of this thing!

I'd be in for one or two, but it would have to be at a "mass-production" pricepoint. My last build didn't cost what the protptype is going for on the 'Bay!!!!

i can see the future headlines

Ha Ha!

That's too darn cool!! Has a medallion of sorts been thought of already? Something to affix to the bike itself?

[Fahrrad]

That is a sweet badge. It is like pharmaceutical industry, the pills only cost .04 each, but the first one cost 20 million to make. Good luck to the winner, if I did not just by some other stuff here, I would be in for it.

EPIC WIN for sure! Love the play on the typical "Schwinn built" script! -Adam

As for the weathered look, Petrohead, during the build off artificially aged some fresh brass plates by exposing them to the fumes of... ammonia? Yep, I remembered correctly:

Silver plating would be much easier. I have a kit from Caswell Plating and can easily plate brass with silver. Gary

I plated a little piece of copper a few weeks back with nickel....came out OK, but it took time...not that hard...

[Rat Rod]

Maybe I just need to get a Sharpie and sign the back of the first badge.

[axsepul]

That's a good idea.

as far as attachment to the bike will it have double stick tape or i guess drill holes in it to attach?
