I'm making a reproduction of the black cardboard bezel for Track and Field. This is copied directly from an original, which I made accurate templates from. This is hand cut with a sharp razor and metal straightedge.
It's on a heavy black matte board/cardboard, MUCH stiffer than the original material. The original that I copied was badly faded, yet appeared to have been black on both sides. This material is the same, black on both sides, with no markings or logos.
This matches the original, cut for cut, including the razor cut relief lines for the folds. I am slightly pre-bending the folds and they should fit just right when installed, with little effort. Same as the original, it's 3 pieces, which you can assemble with double sided tape, which I will include.
While a machine cut set, like what used to be available, would be a little cheaper, since this is hand cut, it's tough and takes some time to cut with clean and accurate results (especially the curves).
The price for a Track and Field bezel is $45/shipped, USPS Priority, with delivery confirmation. My paypal is [email protected]
Due to demand and my work schedule, it may take from a few days up to a week or so, depending on me running out of material, getting more, and going to the post office. However, I will keep you informed and up to date on the status. Thanks!
