Replica segment picks
Paul Lundy of Bremerton Office Machines looks to have commissioned Bob Powell of Metal Zcreature () to produce some replicas of Ames segment picks () and is selling them for $20 + shipping and tax.

Re: Replica segment picks
If you don't want to buy a segment pick, you can easily make one by grinding down an old typebar and fixing the end into a wooden handle with some epoxy resin. That's what I was taught to do when I was an apprentice nearly 50 years ago, and I am still using mine. Having said that, the Bremerton item looks to be good quality and a nice tool to have.
