Got some windows with window stays. But we would really like longer ones
(think these are around 9/10" - would like 12" or so).

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?

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.
