Jim Pontillow sold Royce/Reliable 600 to Chipco some months back and I did not go with the deal as a rep. Bee Estes now represents Chipco for bi-metal and / or brass medallions. Everything will be bi-metal with exceptions for special orders of brass medalliions. the HP order is their first under new ownership and Bee told me last week that they would be "a little late" and maybe right after The Saturday celebrations of Chinese New Years. So what else is new. Now I can really write the final THE LAST OF THE BRASS since rumor has it that even the Silver Smith at Wendover has changed their chips and the Hyatt is on the verge of taking their brass off. End of news
