I don't believe they ever did. The only brass ones I've seen have been "fantasy" reproductions.

I have heard horror stories about vibration causing them to break and ruining a very expensive headlamp.

After one of the potmetal repro ones broke one night a dozen years ago, and I dragged the brass headlamp on the pavement by the cable, I found unpolished brass/bronze ones at a swap. They are much sturdier. At the time, I understood Lang sold only the potmetal ones.

I guess you could sharpen a point on the threaded end and drive it into a wall and hang a flower pot on it.

actually they are quite sturdy. i wouldn't have any problem using them on a car if i were looking for bling. these were even gold plated so they wouldn't have to polish them often.

Stuart send me a email if you want to sell them.
