I have two but neither are in perfect shape. The lower one not even close to perfect - but, I glued the upper one - the left hand screw hole back together from pieces I found in the column bowl. It's actually fairly strong and should be fine for what I intend to try, but the right hand side is missing a small chunk from the screw hole circle. I might try to use a small piece from the lower piece left hand side to fill the upper right one in enough - in order to try to make a two-piece mold of it and then pour myself a new one. I removed the white paint from the upper one so it wouldn't interfere with the mold detail. The green dot is actually embedded in the plastic so not sure how I'll tackle that one yet but I have some ideas.
TAP plastics is just down the road and this RTV system for the mold should pick up all of the details. If the molds turn out good then I'll go get some of this to pour into the mold.
