Eric, what you want is a length of 1-1/2 inch iron pipe 30 inches long. 1-1/2 inch I.P. has an outside diameter of 1.9 inches. Black iron pipe threaded on one end would be best. The lolly pop just slips into the end of the pipe. Home Depot, etc will have 1-1/2 pipe in galvanized but may not have black pipe that large, as suggested earlier you may have to find plumber or fire sprinkler supply. Good luck.

I have the base with no pole and the sign with round frame minus that connector which connects the pole with the round sign frame as pictured in first pic.

Eric needs the part usually riveted (I think) onto the metal ring around the sign. It has "ears" on top of the female copling (internal threaded section) for the supporting pipe. I do not have any suggestions except have someone fabricate something similar. John

Eric--Chances of finding that coupler are slim to none but having it fabricated, should be easy. You have a picture of what you want, so find a competent fabricator and show him the picture. He should be able to take it from there.

Yea that is a good idea. I need a huge favor fro someone on here that owns this lolipop sign. Can you tell me the height of the pole from base to bottom of sign. Also the diameter of the pole? That original coupler I know will be impossible to find original. I assumed that. I was hoping that one of these lowes or home depot might have something similiar. It is an odd item though. Where might I look to have one fabricated?

maybe browse Homedepot or Lowe's chain-link fence section. Possibly, something could be fabricated from the aluminum top pieces of fence posts.

Eric,
This is a ROUGH sketch, but if you know someone that is a good welder they should be able to whip this out. If you need some close ups of the original, let me know.
