MB Handles...does anyone repop them?

[Vwbuggin64]

So I have a modded MBH kettle (it's missing the rear handle) and was wondering if anyone out there knows where to buy another metal handle. Does anyone know if someone is remanufacturing them? I'd love to resell another handle on the kettle to complete the resto-mod. Thanks everyone

You could always pull one from a vintage Simonsen toolbox. I am not sure if they were the original supplier in Chicago but they are pretty darn close.

@pbe gummi bear I'd never heard of Simonsen toolboxes...my dad was a carpenter for 42 years, and I'd never seen one of those old boxes.  Very cool.

It took me a very long time to figure out the manufacturer of the toolboxes with the mbh "h"

Hah!  I am pretty sure I have one of those from my grandpa.  My dad has several from him.  My grandpa was a machinist in the navy during WWII.  Actually a Pearl Harbor survivor as well.  Anyways, he had an insane amount of tools and tackle boxes as well.
