Sometime back a member advertised cast horn buttons in various colors, but I recall they were Deadhead and other designs, not the standard crest.I believe they were all one color castings with choices available.Anybody know of this ??

This doesn't help other than to say I don't see anything when I did some searches of older ads on the site.

Nothing came up at all searching on horn and dead or deadhead, except for a single ad for one button from 10+ years ago.

There is one ad in there with one-off horn buttons. Maybe that advertiser could make what you want? I'm just sayin'.

There was someone making tiki- style horn buttons, but the ad is no longer active so I would guess they don't anymore.

Nyet, horn button is fine; why mess with perfection?

Weird, I can't remember ever seeing brand new loose horn button centers like that.

It's also weird that he's gotten ZERO emails on that ad and it's been up for 3 years. I guess people would rather just but a whole horn button?
I'm not sure I've ever had the center be messed up, it's usually the outer that's cracked
