I got my reproduction crank on eBay, but I don't have a clue of it's origin. It is plain black, no label or anything. There are some out there with Chinese writing, but it can be painted over. The mechanism is fine...they work. The esthetics are a little off...they look a little rough. Nonetheless, they are what's available, and the originals are scarce as hen's teeth and very expensive!! If you want a handcrank, you will most likely have to take a less than perfect reproduction.

Contact Lostn51, he usually gets some for sale made in Canada. Haven't seen them, so don't know how they are.
