firefly67 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 It must be Illinois week--I too have just joined, and am located in east central IL! I've been around leatherwork off & on for many years but did not have the time to really get involved in it till now. I've made several bags and a vest, and am currently searching for a good supplier for trigger snaps (or that's what Tandy calls them) and other good hardware stuff--D rings & the like. Would like to find someone who offers them in brass if possible. Also, does anyone have a source for Indian head nickels that have been made into buttons already? I found some at Friendship (Indiana) but they aren't quite what I'd like. Anybody got a favorite source for buffalo leather? I got some nice black buffalo from Moscow Hide & Fur recently. Also (I have way too many questions!) is anybody familiar with Adler Durkopp 267 sewing machines? I'm so glad I found this forum--I've been looking for something like it! I've included a photo of my first buffalo leather bag (actually a belt pouch). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skipj Report post Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) I just looked at Zack White website, they have indian head and buffalo nickel snaps, new to me. I've seen buffalo nickel conchos in Tandy catalog. What's a trigger snap? SkipJ Edited December 4, 2007 by skipj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
