Looking for 6-inch brass drawer pulls...HELP!
I have an old bureau whose drawer pulls have broken and I'm looking
for something either similar or a recreation of what I have. I haven't had much luck finding drop bail pulls that are 6"long (6" boring) and I was wondering if anyone knew where I might find this? Or who I might speak to about recreating something like this?? Here's a picture of my pull: http://216.157.102.130/6inch-drawer-pull.jpg Thanks for any help! |

There are several casters on our newsgroup who could reproduce this in a variety of metals. Silicon bronze would look good, but finishes can be applied to other metals.

Looking for 6-inch brass drawer pulls...HELP!
http://www.hippohardware.com
They'll have them. No doubt. I picked up a nice 1910 vintage cabinet Victrola some years ago, missing two hinges. I pulled one of the remaining hinges and took it to Hippo. The guy at the counter barely blinked and said, "How many would you like?" Not reproductions, but originals. If you're in/near Portland, OR, Hippo is a must see. The browsing there is great. - Bruce (biz notch) wrote in news:643f3a45.0406270535.5b80bfa3 @posting.google.com: Well I didnt' see something similar on their site but I emailed them to see if they had something like my pulls. Anyone else know of good places to contact/check out? |

(Are most of us in the wrong business?) As I understand it..and I know people who have been there, they have the worlds largest selection of original hardware of this kind in the world. They have buyers who do nothing but travel around buying old hardware. Ive not heard if they do repros or not. So Id have to say they think they can charge for exact replacement. Shrug..nothing in there that I want. Gunner That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy.
