Want To Buy: Merriman and related boat gear

[paul nevin]

I am refitting a 1949 Sparkman and Stephens 45 foot teak sloop. I am interested in a number of pieces for the boat:

a multi-pane glass and bronze angled tower style binnacle cover for the Wilfred O. White compass, Constellation Model, CC 4389. Interior diameter of the cover should be about 7 1/2 inches, exterior diameter should be 8 inches

a pump for a Paul Luke pressurized 3 burner 1970s era alcohol stove, Heritage model 5 A .

different types of Merriman blocks, especially a pair of large diameter sheet blocks which have a threaded bronze plug on a becket for screwing into the female piece mounted on the deck. I also need the separate threaded bronze plugs which are used to fill the female deck piece when the blocks are not installed.

a Merriman main sheet block (3/4 inch sheave) fixed to a bronze car which rides on 1 1/4 inch bronze mainsheet track. The car is held in place with two thumbscrews.


a twelve inch bronze cleat with at least four bolt holes for mounting.

a ten inch long ash wood cleat. mounting holes must be exactly 2 1/2 inches center to center


large sized brass or fiberglass intake vents to fit the old style Dorade boxes.

thank you
