Here is Pete's reply from Port Townsend Foundry. Probably the photos will be stripped out so not visible, but there they have two or three moulds that look similar to ours. I will take my grudgeon off the boat this week and take it to the foundry for comparison and measuring, then intend to order a casting, if the price quote of $250-$350 stays the same. Will advise what they say.
