The "Classic" One-Pfoot is a project that we have pursued off and on for the past couple of years. In our conversations with our most ardent customers we found that they loved the look and the fit of the original early die cast Medalist feet. Unfortunately, these beautiful feet were only made for a very short period in the Medalist history. And also, unfortunately, the feet that were produced in this early period were made of a very weak die cast metal. It is very unusual to find one of these feet in mint original condition. As most Medalist collectors can tell you, the radius ends of these feet most always look like a mouse chewed on them due to the chipping away of the weak metal.
We vigorously pursued the possiibility of casting these feet in order to make them look exactly like the original. Initial set-up costs and material prices convinced us that machining from bar stock material would produce the best and strongest results.
We believe that the "Classic" One-Pfoot will go a long way in making that favorite old Medalist look and function like the true American treasure it is.
