Grov Report post Posted May 5, 2012 I'm trying to reproduce the straps to a purse my girl has had in her family for ages. I'm at a loss on where to find the brown snaps and rivets it used. I've checked all my usual sources plus a few more ebay/etsy/google searches but I'm still coming up with nothing. 10mm size. Need about a dozen of each. Snaps & Rivets. IF anyone has some or knows where I could get some, please help me out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miss v Report post Posted May 6, 2012 if you cannot find brown, you can always "oxidize" your own findings. http://www.riogrande.com/Search/oxidize fyi alot of times though there will be a clear coat on the brass, copper snaps etc that will need to come off before adding a patina. Ive also had success with using gun bluing on steel findings. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sylvia Report post Posted May 6, 2012 I just measured my line 20 and line 24 snaps... and they are respectively 12mm and 15mm across.... so I believe you are searching for Line 16 brown snaps sometimes called glove snaps. Zack White has some line 16 in brown. http://zackwhite.com/xcart/home.php?cat=1060 scroll down a bit. This place also has them in line 16 http://www.onestopcandle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?store_code=OSC&screen=PROD&product_code=LE125002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
