A few years back RV Anderson made some quality reproduction Rubes rubber bulbs for our hobby, but I’ve read that they are no longer being reproduced. I spoke with RV and I’ve called the vendors hoping maybe to find one sitting on the shelf unsold, but to no avail. One popped up on EBay a few months back but I was too late. Is there anyone out there that might have one that they are not using that would be interested in selling?
Thanks

I wish they could be made again. I could use 2.

Have you tried Restoration Supply or S&J - and must the bulb have ridges to make it a "Rubes"? Theirs have the ridges.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Wanted Rubes Horn Bulb- Reproduction
The ones RV made were exact to Rubes and Nonpareil drawings. They had the correct logo and size. The ones the vendors sale do work as I have one from Vintique, but they do not look like the ones that were originally supplied.TRDxB2 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:01 amHave you tried Restoration Supply or S&J - and must the bulb have ridges to make it a "Rubes"?
