Looking For Brown Snaps & Rivets

[Grov]

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.

Can you post a picture of existing brown hardware??

if you cannot find brown, you can always "oxidize" your own findings.

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

My mistake. I thought I had. Here's a link.

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.

This place also has them in line 16
