Wanted: Bombay Grill (No longer needed)

Post by OldRestorer »

Anyone have a Bombay cabinet grill I can use? I want to make a mold but don't have a grill. It would be returned in the same condition as I received it. Even a broken one with all the pieces would do and you will get back a fixed one! I cant use a tracing as I need to replicate the curve.

:)

Actually, the term is ‘bombé’, not “Bombay”. It’s a French cabinetmaker’s term meaning ‘bombed’ or ‘exploded’, referring to the buldged-out appearance. The word is pronounced ‘bom-bay’, which leads to no small amount of confusion. ‘Bombay’ is, of course, a city in India, now known by the pre-colonial name, Mumbai.

Tom Rutkowdki makes reproduction Sonora grills for bombé models:
