Gee, would it be considered whining that I was the first one to respond to the first post and ask to purchase one of the original finkwiks?
Seriously, it would be nice to have one original or new build.

Wow, this will be cool if the family can dig up the tooling and start production again! I'd take one, new or old...doesn't matter if it's the same design.

Like Chan said, it looks like demand has exceeded supply. Even so, I'd like to give it a try.

Please add me to the list of those who desire one.

The son of the designer MItchell Gornik has not responded to any requests for information or the purchase of the Original Fin Kwik.

There is a link to give suggestions http://finkwik.com/

Also, if you would like to view the patent,the patent number is 3,805,355 April 24, 1974

The Original metal Fin Kwik was sold by Estes going back around the 1975 time period and can be found in a catalog of that vintage.

I still have mine and it's a valuable tool in the construction of rockets.
