Anyone ever see a tone bar like this one?

I have 5-6 that came with old lap steels I have bought. Want one? It was the standard before Stevens came along.

I have seen flat ones before....in fact my Dad had one in the case of his guitar from 1936. However the one in the video appears to be different. My Dad's was completly flat, with the end of the flat portion radiused. This one looks like it has a bar connected to the flat porition.....sort of a hybrid between a modern bar the the older flat bars. The bar portion is larger in diameter than the flat portion's thickness.

It looks to be two pieces soldered together. When I first watched the video I was wondering if it was one piece or two? Making that bar in a one piece unit back in the fifties without the use of CNC machining would have been difficult.
