Does anyone know of anyone out there who makes reproductions of Gunter's Chains? Specifically the 2 pole (33 foot) type. I would like one for demonstration purposes.

In 2013 Milt Denny announced that he was ceasing production of chains. I don't know if he held to that plan.

You could also follow Jerry Penry's how-to and build your own.

I bought one on eBay for about $30...Had to 'recalibrate' it by grinding 30m off of the brass handle and restamping with 2 POLE...
