Replicating "Standard" Fancy "S" Pedal Mats
By Gordon Stelter

I found a totally untouched pair of "Standard", fancy "S" pedal mats
in an old warehouse, with the protective showroom cardboard still
tacked on.  They are now hard-as-a-rock, and ripe for duplication.
If enough interest is shown, I'll see about having some made.

I'm also open to suggestions as to how to best approach this.  While
the ornate design is totally hardened, hence perfect for casting
a mold of, the fellow at the rubber company I spoke with said a die
would have to be machined -- for about $10,000!  Perhaps a less costly
method could be employed?
