What Are These?

[stu925]

A while back I got a couple boxes of miscllaneous leatherworking hardware from a buddy. He came by the boxes somewhere along the line and had no idea what to make of the stuff so he's of no help here. In one of the boxes is a huge pile of these things and I have no idea what they are or what their purpose may be. I scrolled through Tandy's web site looking for something similar but struck out. I presume they're for handbags/pocketbooks since there was a ton of other bag hardware in the boxes. Any help on what these and how they're used would be great.

Perhaps bill clips to hold bills in a bifold wallet?

For clipping wallet inserts similar to these http://www.tandyleather.ca/en/product/horizontal-wallet-insert to the interior of a wallet. They are an old style dating back to at least 1960. They won't work with these inserts.

Ah that explains it, there were some very small snaps in the boxes too so that fits the wallet making theme. Thanks for the info.

I have some too, and they came in a tool set, all of which date pre 60 as well. I also got these bar snap thingies for change pockets i assume and the setter tool., in old tandy packaging. Original craftool box tool. Only $0.25 for a DOZEN 3/4 dees.....
