THAT is a Top Hat bearing. Although the ones I am used to have a far wider brim -this is more of a "pork pie hat" bearing... Anyway -you got what you were looking for. regards ralph

Sorry, I am not exactly sure what it is that you are looking for? A Top Hat bearing? Plain metal scrivvener? A blank Blazon Eschuton? A little more description might be useful for those of us who do not speak American. Remember that a Torpedo in American Railroad parlance, is not the same as a Torpedo in British Naval parlance... regards ralph
