Default Club Tag Topper

Hi all! I am looking for a casting company that makes custom tag toppers. Please share your recommendations.

Bob:
Probably 10 years ago our club, Smoky Mountain Model A Club, had at least 50 made. I will try to find out who ordered them and let you know.

I second O’Briens. 20 years ago when I served as club captain, I ordered a bunch of them for my club’s board of directors as a thank you.
I’d say that the only issue is they used a really small diameter & short screw cast in the back. Give them a call.

If you have a club member that has a 3D printer, custom license plate toppers, specific to your club can be made easily.

Bob & others:
The member who ordered them passed recently and there is no record of the purchase. I like the looks of the Obriens website. We should probably get some more for new members.

We use Obrein's also. We sent in an original San Antonio one and hey made them for us. We were able to reorder a few years later and the still had the mold.

Thanks all for your help. The supply of MAFC of Long Island toppers is no more, so the toppers that exist go for ludicrous bucks. My goal is to design a new tag topper for my club this year.
