These handles are new stock and are very suitable for handle replacements on Antique Trunks or newly built Chests--Included in this purchase are the following: Two black leather straps  cut from cowhide 1 1/4" wide by 8 1/2"  inches long by 1/4" and very sturdy-- Four metal strap ends with coat of primer and a finish coat of hammered black enamel. Eighteen- 1-1/4" long steel cut nails to fasten the leather to the trunk. Nails are to be placed  four per strap end under the position of the metal strap ends in a four square position for best attachment.  Form the permanent handle loop to suit before completing the nailing. Eighteen 3/4" split brass plated tacks to fasten the metal strap ends. The handles measure approx 10 1/2" metal end to metal end with the handle loop but can be shortened by cutting a bit off of the leather strap if required to fit. My feedback indicates that customers that have bought these handles are very pleased. free postage
