Posted by Industries1 on Wednesday, June 20, 2018 5:20 PM

The S & S Hobby Products brass R X R street stencil HO is mentioned in the magazine "model railroading the ultimate guide" Specil 2018. See page 20. Does anyone have one for sale or knows who has one for sale? 

Thanks

Not easy to find info on this company.  Google says some companies stock some of their products, but not  the RR stencil.  Walthers says, out of stock, as usual.

Facebook lists their number as (517) 486-2223, it also calls the company as a grocery store and links to a Chinese website, so the number maybe no good.

I bought one years and years ago when it was carried by Walthers.

They no longer carry the line it would appear:

This outfit claims to have one of the stencils:

S&S might be yet another small manufacturer with good ideas that has fallen  by the wayside

Their mailing address was

S&S Hobby Products, Box 2724,Garden Grove, CA 92642

 doubt they are still in business. 

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
