Was digging thru a spare parts drawer and was wondering if anyone could identify the maker of this steel? Has an "R" and "T" together symbol on one end and an arrow symbol pointing down on the other end. The steel is 2 7/8" long at the playing surface. Any thought on who might have made this steel? Thanks

That's a Tipton bar.

Thanks. I bought it years ago and stashed it away. Just found it today doing some bi-decade cleaning.

If you trying to get rid of it, there are several members on here that would happily buy it from you...

Yes it should sell, seeing that Rob Ickes doesn’t have them on his site any longer. Not sure what happened, I thought they were taking pre orders for them, then they removed it from the store.

SOLD ! Thanks to the forum members who helped identify this steel and contacted me.

The bar that is the subject of this thread is an older bar actually built by Ron Tipton. Ron retired from making the bars and sold the business to Chris Simpkins.
Chris' production is currently on hold because there is an issue of some sort with the plating company, so Rob has temporarily removed the item from his online store.
