thanks!

can't make out the handle, but I'm assuming maybe a knob of some sort? looks great to sharpen

thanks for help, these are pull the dot, they differ from lift the dot in quite a few ways. Basically what I am looking for is a replica of the original US WWII Brass Lift the Dot, extra long teeth and extra long stud, or possibly standard teeth, I'm waiting on samples or the gov't black to see if standard sized teeth can be used on 1/8" thick leather. Hard to find...

extra long studs found on ebay, but not the matching snap hole with extra long feet... oh well.

THANK YOU, exactly what looking for. DOT told me they do not manufacture anymore, they only make in polished stainless (boat) and black steel (police), and the new ones seem to be very heavily branded/stamped all over, instantly turning your work into a 'lift the dot' branded gear.

thanks, I was just about to update this thread, I found 'lift the dot' fasteners on sailrite, but they are all a polished nickel, and also I am not sure on specs of max thickness of material. I don't think they will do 10 oz of leather from looking at them. I think the ones in the photo also have a feature 'double height', so will try contact DOT and see if they have some.

Any source for these snaps? Or other non standard large heavy duty snaps.
