Todd Lassen said on his blog since they closed, he is looking to also get into that lower end market in addition to his handmade work. Knowing Todd's sense of humor, I really don't know if there is any truth to that or not.

Lassen imformed me that he got the idea to go commercial about the time Allan Ackerman approached him to make his Ishtar sets, and Allan imformed him that Sasco had closed.

Bummer. I made an order with them a week ago and have heard nothing. I emailed them and received no reply.
I'm as real as you think I am

Sasco never made anything that was of any worth. I wouldn't have even bought a toilet brush from them if they had made one.

Actually, the Sasco Toilet Brush WAS the best thing they ever made!

From Todd's blog.
"Sasco is now part of a much larger enterprise, Magic Supply House. In addition, our shop now includes the coin manufacturing equipment and capabilities from SS Adams and we are also making the coin items that they have for over 100 years, dime and penny, squirting nickels, shim shells, etc." |

Yes, really. If I recall , it was around that time that the man who was doing most of the higher quality work became ill and someone with less skill began to produce their products.

It would be great if they get focused on quality once again.
