It's nice to know that there are companies out there that can offer products to those who might be in need. If this is a WF Norman hip, they can be located here: http://wfnorman.com/ Thank you, Eric P.

It is the W.F. Norman company, and I think they are in St. Louis. They made stuff like that and stamped ceiling panels and such. They still have all of the original molds down there and most of their work is doing just what you need. Look it up and if you can't find them write to me and I will see what I can find for you. No sense in re-inventing the wheel!   Epl (Epl) Senior Member Username: Epl Post Number: 98 Registered: 06-2009 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 - 09:05 am:        Bud, With a sample of a hip piece, we can stamp this for you here. Please contact me if you might be interested. Thank you, Eric P.

I would like to do the hips in copper which would highlight the roof and be completed with a copper finial.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 554 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Monday, December 06, 2010 - 05:28 pm:        Bud, is that metal or Terra Cotta?   Walter_musson (Walter_musson) Senior Member Username: Walter_musson Post Number: 183 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Monday, December 06, 2010 - 04:41 pm:        Should be easy to fabricate from 16 oz . copper   Bud (Bud) Intermediate Member Username: Bud Post Number: 36 Registered: 02-2010 Posted on Monday, December 06, 2010 - 03:18 pm:        Looking for a match to the cap used on the hips of this roof. Trying to keep the last part of a one beautiful slate roof, slate. Sadly I suspect the slate was ruined when someone in their infinite wisdom painted the original slate roof rather than not doing something which would make them a quick $. No matter, the main roof is shingles now. I am hoping that I can match the hip cap that is on the tower roof now, this is very important to the homeowner. Other than that she is open to any offerings for the actual roofing. Each piece of the cap measures 11 inches long with approx. 9 inches of exposure. 8 sides to the turret and each hip is 15 feet. Thanks for your help.
