So i started working on the New York swivels again and will probably have around ten of them for sale, i got one done except for touch up paint on the base, i'm working on the second one and got the S-hook fabricated, now i just gotta get the steel ball done then paint the base.

Nice work -
Actually in this photo most of the steel balls you see are everlast, Mine are in the two swivels and a couple in the back that aren't finished, what i do to my steel balls (i'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere) my steel ball only has a flat on one side, i never understood why everlast would have two flats on their steel balls, There's no need to have two flats, the S-hooks you see in the two swivel cups are mine, i fabricated them to be shorter and wider than everlast s-hooks so they work with & fit all bags, they have what memberfedora would call that Kinky bend to them, just like the old school swivels used to have, i'll try to get some pictures of two maybe three swivels done this weekend and post the on here, i have about ten everlast new york swivels to sell and i'll also offer up my s-hooks with eyebolt for those that want a proper old school s-hook.Originally posted by Dutchman View PostComment

We older baggers spent many hours pounding these type of S-Hooks. They have a very distinctive sound to them.Speed Bag

Would this be an appropriate swivel for a Narragansett platform? If so, I might be interested in buying one. They look greatComment

Hey! "Dutchman" sorry to put you on the spot but my first thought was (just ask the Dutchman) so, what swivel came with the original "Narragansett platform"Comment
-
They had their own line of swivels. Originally similar to the Nichols rope swivel, and later a ball and hook style. You will find just about any make of swivel on the surviving platformsComment

I have a picture of the original swivel from the 1916 Narragansett catalog, it's obvious that you can't find these because people probably took these off to put other swivels on that they were using at the time, that's to bad that the original swivel was lost in time.Originally posted by Dutchman View PostComment

Swivel from the 1916 Narragansett catalog. The two pictures below are a similar swivel if not the same rope swivel on a Medart Platform, i can't remember where i found the picture of the guy hitting on the Medart platform but i think he was a Physician.
