Does anybody know who built this ShoBud knee flag?

Mark van Allen · From: Watkinsville, Ga. USA

I saw this ad on EBay for a flagged pot metal era ShoBud Knee lever, I'd love one of these for RKR on my LDG. The ebay ad looks like a left-moving knee to me. Looks like no problem to build, except I'd really like to know what kind of a bolt that is holding it on so it's solid and yet folds up.
So, does anybody recognize this, know who built it, or where to find a bolt like that? Thanks!

Mark, I can't see it that well but it appears to be a carriage bolt, available at about anyplace that has hardware. Looks like an oversize washer is used under the head of the bolt to take care of the square shoulders. There would be any number of simple and effective ways to attach a flag like that. Pretty good idea!

Thanks much, Doug, I wrote the seller and he says it's actually a steel rivet with a waver washer on each side, peened down on the back. Nice job, whoever did it.
