Mills Vest Pocket back door in wrinked medium-dark blue

Postby JPCass » Thu Sep 06, 2018 2:11 pm

I just picked up a machine (which I'll post about separately) with an original paint job, and thought I was going to be able to swap out its back door with a lot of paint loss for a fairly nice original one in the same color that I saw on Squires and Corrie's website - but I called Steve, and he says he just sold it:

So I'm looking for one about that nice - and if I find one, then I'll have one to trade or sell that would be perfectly fine for re-painting.

Thanks!


UPDATE: I talked to Steve again, and there was some confusion over QT versus VP back doors, and the thinks he's got the blue VP door above, that I want. If so, then I'll have the original back door off this machine - no lock - for sale, which has paint loss but little if any scratching on the underlying metal, and so would refinish nicely:
