MsDragonfly Report post Posted February 3, 2009 Guys, Could someone recommend a good supplier for getting brass & antique brass D-rings and clips as well as chicago screws? I don't want to use Weaver leather as everytime I call there the girl can't read a ruler and her customer service is terrible, just a pain in the butt to call there. We are having trouble finding a supplier who carries antique brass 1/2" and smaller D-rings and clips for them. I know someone makes them but can't find them. Tandy, weaver and ohio travel bag don't have want I need and all there D-rings are too big and toooo shiny. Any is much needed and immediately as i got some projects to get out soon. Thanks a bunch in advance.***Lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyvern Report post Posted February 4, 2009 Ohiotravelbag.com You will have to call them and register. There is a $30 minimum order. But, they have just about anything you could want! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyvern, I do use Ohio Travel Bag and they are great to work with and know their stuff. However, they do not have some sizes or items that I need.

MsDragonfly Report post Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Well I decided to give Weaver's another try, however, I requested a different sales rep. Here name was Tonya. Now, she knew her stuff and was extremely helpful. ***Lisa Edited February 4, 2009 by MsDragonfly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntex2000 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 If you've still been unable to find the antique brass dees that you need, one possible solution would be to create them yourself. The following link is to a great web site I stumbled across that has DYI recipes for just about anything you can imagine, including the coloring of metal. The recipes are excerpted from what appears to be a book entitled, Henley's Twentieth Century Formulas Recipes Processes. A direct web link to the section on coloring metal is: http://chestofbooks.com/reference/Henley-s...ing-Metals.html. Good luck to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
