I'm going with home made by a good machinist to rescue a part that at one time was not replaceable.

I first thought it was an a brass flange that someone had made, but when I removed it from the reproducer, I found that the brass portion was only a shell with the rubber flange inside of it. This is a great way to keep an old flange from warping, I guess...has anyone ever seen this before? The rubber flange was old, but it seems as if it may be a hair thinner than a regular Exhibition flange. The brass shell is about .050 inches thick at the sides and perhaps .139 inches thick on the top surface. Here is a link to some photos: http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Exhibition%20Flange%20and%2 0Shell/ Any ideas as to if this is a custom job or an aftermarket item?? It seems very precisely made to be a home job.
