I am wondering if any one knows how or where to get a custom head badge made ? I can get vinyl cut & that would work . But I've put alot of work into my Neptune build & would like to get a proper looking brass badge made . I really am hoping to cause confusion this summer weather this bike is really a 1922 ?

Thanks , Boo
 
You might try googling the CABE (Classic Antique Bicycle Exchange). There's guys there that are writing books about head badges. If you can get one made they'd know where.
 
I did a google search and there was a couple others, may want to try custom head badges for bicycle......Curt
 
Etch it using Ferric Chloride, find a piece of brass plate, K&S Engineering has racks in most hardware stores with sheet brass. Cut to shape with a jewelers saw, then etch it. Search Google for "using ferric chloride to etch brass"

Thanks everyone ! Got em on the way !!!!! I used a guy on ebay , goes by Tajave , that I have had make custom engraved brass plaques in the past . Just contacted him , told him what I was looking for & supplied clip art from google for my design . Will be here in 10 days or less & only $8 ea shipped . Kinda have to work with the sizes & shapes he has on hand . But I think it will be just fine . Will post pics when they show up .
( ordered 2 just incase this bike gets lonely & needs a brother )
Thanks , Boo
