Recognise this?

Post by YPF »

Customer has asked if I can find something similar. Described as cigar leaf frame and was bought from US, width of moulding approximately 4 inches/100mm. Nearest I have found so far is from Arqadia Navarra range (261401836) but is only 40mm wide.

Is anybody aware of anything else I can look at?

Many thanks.

There are a huge amount of nice mouldings sold in the US that just don't get imported into the UK.

Not impossible to try and track some down and ship it over, but the costs could be considerable. :roll:

:idea: You could try asking on the Grumble http://www.thegrumble.com/index.php to find out if the moulding is still
available. They are a very helpful bunch and It might be possible for someone to chop the lengths for you and post them
over. Easier than shipping over ten-foot sticks.


** I've just ordered some spring clips from a US supplier because the UK-available ones I have been using for years appear
to have hit a bad batch. They spontaneously snap. :x The US ones are waaaaaay cheaper and look better quality.
I'm just waiting for the bill for the import duty.

Worth looking at the Arden range from Lion. It isn't as wide as you need but it is wider than the Arqadia range.

Thank you both.

I have considered trying The Grumble if I can’t find anything suitable here - it doesn’t have to match exactly.

Spotted the Arden range but not sure about the gold sight edge.
