Hi David, Mark/AC7AZ here. Just to let you know, I no longer make paddles. You have #10 in a run of only 18 of the larger ones. I only made 14 of the mini paddles. Most of the large ones were identical to yours, or with brass hardware, but I made a few one offs too. One had oil-lite bronze bushings instead of needle bearings, one was made completely out of stainless, a couple had brass bases etc. I know where all of them went originally, but I've seen a few for sale here and there so they are starting to scatter. I enjoy looking at your collection and thought you might like the info. Take care and 73.
Mark, AC7AZ.
