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 ??

I did say... NOT with the crest design.They are cast of resin in one color per button.The originaladvertiser had several colors and patterns shown in the ad.

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| There was someone making tiki- style horn buttons, but the ad is no longer active so I would guess they don't anymore.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