A missing grill seems to be an epidemic with the A375, we have had two of that model one of which was missing the grill, I know of two other collectors that have found these with missing grills, one had a grill copied from an original but it cost him several thousand dollars as they are quite elaborate, If you still have the ornate frame replacing the lattice work is very doable , I know a wood worker with a vacuum form press that can do that for you.

I had one made about 10 years ago, and it cost me $2k. It was a perfect copy, but I doubt the fellow who did it for me would make another, and if he would might charge double that amount. It’s a very labor-intensive, skilled project.

PS: Jerry was right, this should be posted in the Yankee Trader section.
