Found this at Bellinger. The first one is all aluminum and black. I like it. YMMV

If you want all aluminum, how about this? http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/plate-r...048700003.aspx With one of these... http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/butt-ca...072000001.aspx or this... http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/fly-ree...um/280477.aspx

What about something like a Struble D1 hardware set and turn an aluminum insert for it? You might be able to make a serviceable insert from a couple of pieces of tubing that nest if you can find the right sizes. There is still the issue of black, however.
thanks everyone for your help. i found a couple of nice vintage all aluminum reel seats on the Fiberglass Flyrodders Forum.
