There is a dowell factory in Westbrook Maine. Back in the early days (60's) they made alot of plug bodies for larger plug suppliers.
They are well known for the mallet handles etc.
I have no contact info but I will will try to find out a few things.

Dowels
Wow I forgot about that place. Used to have a friend that worked there in the early 70's and was always getting doels from him to make poppers for blues. I live 10miles from there. Maybe I'll have to see what I can find tomorrow. Will just have to find where it's located. The Striper Maine-iac
