Michael, After writing that last bit, I dug around for a while in what passes for my junk pile of old parts. I "Marshall-planned" most of my Chickering stuff to the guy to who took over a museum gig in LA in the early '90s, and only seem to have a few badly corroded brass whippen flanges left (that would have gone with a roughly WWI Quarter Grand). My PTG directory is momentarily someplace out of mind, and I do not remember the phone number for: Mallory Geller (RPT), who lives on West Adams, LA.. I know that he has done some work on older Chickerings over time, and he might have a lead. A good machinist can make the shanks, but might not want to make only a few. Also, on rereading, my initial response seems more than a bit glib, please accept my apologies. Best regards.
