Replacement crank handles for old casement windows
1950s casement windows may not be very energy efficient, but they sure
are burglar-resistant! These are casement windows, not those little louvred jalousie windows, btw. I'm missing some handles for these, and the big box home improvement stores don't have them. Is there some salvage or vintage type hardware service I could approach for these? Thanks. -- bruce The dignified don't even enter in the game. -- The Jam |

I've never seen a handle on a windshield wiper. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back! UnScrew you! |
