I broke one of my favorite thumb picks today while in my front pocket. It's a light color purple and very similar to herco. Any one know what these are?

My wife always gives me a hard time for stocking up on things. Six shotguns, nine rifles, 10 pistols, eight amps, three Tele's ect. lol Anyway I bought 2 dozen thumb picks from Jeff Newman. Now Jeff is gone but I have thumb picks.
Kevin, sorry you broke your pick. Don't know of any at this time but I will be on the lookout.

After years of playing I've found the GOLDEN GATE picks capable of providing me with the best of everything from sound to comfort.
Only thing worse for a steel player aside from breaking his thumb pick and being unable to perform well..........is the dropping of his flat bar into the round hole on the surface of a flat top guitar acoustic guiar, played Hawaiian style, in the middle of a stage performance during a concert. |

| Thanks guys! I had been using Newman and Golden Gate (clown barf) but had found this older pick recently and grew quite fond of it. You know how it is...😯 |

| Other than the color, looks like a Fred Kelly pick. Elderly instruments has them in the normal blue color. Good luck |

I think that's a Fred Kelly polycarbonate pick. The poly ones are stiffer, brighter - and break. The delrin ones are softer, mellower-sounding - and bend.

You can pick up small quantities on Ebay easily, too. |
