old style rose

[bof]

Anyone know where I can get hold of a ceiling rose in this style:

I managed to break one readying the ceiling for skimming and would really don't want to replace it with a modern style rose.

They were used in my parent's house, built 1955, although without the wooden backing in your picture, and also used in their 1964 extension. I suspect they're MK (all the rest of the original fittings in that house were).

I did have some in the junk box, but alas, no more.

Thanks, and a D'oh from me, how could I not have thought of that?

Ta, I'm not really sure when these were put in, judging from the artefacts I find under the floor boards etc. there were extensive changes made in the mid 60's, so probably then, along with the effing Artex and textured paint I'm getting rid of.

I think I have actually seen new ones somewhere.

Its a wooden rose right? Otherwise car boot sales, reclaim yards, a mate with a lathe..

I you remember, please do post.

It's plastic, the ceiling most piece maybe be wood, I haven't checked. If push comes to shove I can move one from a less obvious location.

Oh THOSE bloody things.

Any makeover premises, in the skip outside :-)

Not really, given that Google have fixed the problem of defaulting to not including quoted text, some weeks ago.

Except I kill the kill rule for threads I start here when asking questions, it seems a little rude to do otherwise.

I might try switching the kill rule off then, it's a shame I can't see a way of just killing the non quoters.

If thats so, note the post today, about haircutting, is out of thread and appears to come from Google groups?. Its the the one from Chris.Homer.

Well, I can see one post from [e-mail] at 11.29 today, posted via Google; but why do you say it's out of thread? He seems to have just stated a new thread AFAICS, nothing untoward (if OT!). Unless I'm missing something...????
