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
