Where Can I Get These Metal Letters For Leatherwork?

Recommended Posts

​I am looking for fittings of this sort (as in the image) in brass or so with a range of different letters for a project I am working on

Can anyone tell me what these are officially called?

Can anyone also give me a good quality manufacturer who can provide these?

Lastly, are these actually better in brass as I have assumed? o are they usually made of a different metal for a certain reason? Weight e.t.c.

Any help would be amazing!!!

Tandy's new catalog, Buyer's Guide #190, 2016, has them listed on the bottom of page 121, under item #1340-.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.Those are really nice but not exactly what I want. The ones I need are not hollow, have a more defined shape, and seem to be attached to a piece of metal in between the leather. I'm however one step closer to finding them thanks to you, so thank you very much.

Only place I could think of that would be able to supply something like that.

Is each one of those letters mounted separately? And if so, with what method would you guess?

Yes the letters are mounted seperately

They seem to be attached through a plate in the leather with holes at the location of each letter.

Seems each letter has a rod or screw or something behind it which fasten it through the holes on the plate.

Then again, I could be wrong
