Frank, you would have a bigger market for these in Australia where they were used well into 1925, but we are not part of the CONUS! While the market may be bigger, the asking price would likely be a killer.

I love the appearance of these genuine parts. They are likely sheared off a length of rolled channel. Each one gets slight bends in the feet and often shear marks at the ends. Langs have filled a need for these, but they are CNC machined, and each is a perfect clone of the next.

Thank You for your insight. I changed the listing to show the price for the 6 lugs and + shipping to wherever
Since Lang's sells the reproductions for $22.95 each, I'm thinking that $18.33 each is a fair price for originals.
Lang's 6 x $22.95 = $137.70 + $9 tax + $15 US ship = $161.70 Total to AUS $137.60 + $44.50 ship = $182.10 + duty fees?
Mine. 6 x $18.33 = $110.00 + $0 tax + $15 US ship = $125.00 Total to AUS $110.00 + $44.50 ship = $154.50 + duty fees?
