Got some windows with window stays. But we would really like longer

But we actually quite like these ones - and want any replacements to
be in keeping with the ones we are not wanting to replace. Problem is,
we cannot identify the maker or locate a source. Anyone able to help?

Mmm. I think these are mine..not quite the same sadly..

Or these

http://www.worldofbrass.co.uk/shop/w...ndow-fittings/
Still not quite the same..

This is closer

http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/P...ck_Iron/894033

but that the closest match i could find.


May be worth replacing all the stays with something like a monkey tail
or shepherds crook, that is more available.


Jolly good try with that last one - but think it is no longer than what we
have.

Don't want the monkey tail or whatever because we need to maximise the
opening ability within a modest window width - if you see what I mean. A
long enough monkey tail to get a really good opening will be too wide for
the space available.
