Members johnv474 Posted June 22, 2017 Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 Ohio Travel Bag has 1 inch strap loop in gold. You can find it by searching for strap loop. It is not antique but you could have it antiqued, if you don't find another source. Quote
Members Mhicks Posted June 22, 2017 Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 I too have spent a considerable amount of time looking for these in brass and they just aren't out there in mass production. The ones I've seen in brass are more of whats called a "Footman Loop" that is attached with 2 rivets but all of the ones that are mass produced don't have a tall enough opening to work. Quote

Members Dan Miller Posted June 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 23, 2017 I did ask Nigel, and he suggested these links. Note that the grommet linked does not fit the loop. https://ohiotravelbag.com/products/item/1ef8241d-2d39-4f67-89d8-e93e074d3cad/P-2742-NIC https://ohiotravelbag.com/products/item/06764edb-7899-49ba-8685-0d56c528eb78/1in+Screw+Together+Eyelet+Nickel Lots of good suggestions in this thread (Thanks everyone!). Still, not finding anything that grabs me. Dan Quote
Members Tugadude Posted June 23, 2017 Members Report Posted June 23, 2017 Why do you say the grommet does not fit the loop? Do you know the actual width outside to outside of the strap loop? I would ask OTB if the two fit together. Quote

I don't for sure, but if the loop is to fit a 1" strap, it stands to reason that the outside measurement of the loop has to be more than 1" Good point though, and an email to OTB has been sent.
