cobbler tacks Cobbler tacks (brass and copper)

[HanTark]

Hi All, 

   I'm making my first pair of sandals. Been in the leather business for years but this is my first attempt at anything for the feet sandals. 

    Any suggestions on where to get brass and copper cobbler tacks?  (Flat head, 3/8")

   Also, any suggestions on best cobbler supplies in general (quality/cost) is much appreciated.  This is a commission job for a client but I'm meeting with a shoe maker to make them right, and I'll likely make more if all goes well so I'm willing to invest in the right supplies for long term  

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Try Baltor and Sons in California.  They don't have much of a web site, very old school.  Inventory is enormous.
