I'm familiar with a couple of the early rope swivels offered,and it appears that there were some minor improvements in the male half even before the conversion to eye and hook style. I would surmise that it was a relatively thing to do. It would be interesting to determine that the development of the eye and hook swivel was an answer to bags being fitted with loops, or did the loops
appear in answer to the swivel, or was it a combined effort?
It's a sad day....

Not so sad anymore
Thanks ZA, Dutchman, Nah, Alan. Those swivels are awesome and have been one of my desires for awhile. I have more retro fits of these swivels which I am finding out that there were quite a few different models made by Nicols. I have three of them.
Dutchman do you know all of the models?

Special thanks to the amazing Tommy T, who built a retro-fit shackle that has brought my vintage Nicol's swivel back from the dead. I like to call it my "Tommy T Zom B" swivel!
Thank you Tommy, my speed bag brother! It's SO nice to have the sound of this swivel ringing again.

Originally posted by ventanakaz...the brass ball is to small for those swivels, besides that the softer brass would get chewed up. Hey zaza maybe you can see if the old rope swivel's ball that I sent you would work in that swivel, the ball should be the same size if I remember and just add a new rope to the ball

Seriously, why didn't you just e-mail me? I have that swiv plus a couple of other ones. I'm on it and, I will make that swiv a better one! I'v had plans in my head since I purchased my own Nichols. I just don't have a platform worthy of hanging it on. Your swiv, is the ball shot or can you reuse? Is the... I'll just call. I would appreciate the opportunity.
...and thank for all the kind comments, but she will live again!

...now the search is on to fix this baby.

My condolences.
Dee's brass ball and hook would look great in there if it fits!
