Any item which it simply not made any more, I suspect. If one could be found, it could be 3D printed and reproduced.

I have been hoping to find a source of the other delta-fin firework fin cans, but the supply of those seems to have dried up as well. (FireFox no longer carries them.)


was in a fireworks shop the other day and saw some skyrockets with delta overhang fin cans, but they looked a *lot* thicker/heavier than the pictures I've seen of the Dirty Bird, etc. Plus, it wasn't *quite* the same shape.

But anyway, were the original parts that thick? I estimate close to 1/8" thickness.
