<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 72025, member: 23"]My husband is a locksmith and a lot of people come to us for keys for antique chests, boxes, clocks etc. They also ask about antique hardware. Generally, there are businesses in most areas that salvage architectural materials and they have old hardware. Places like Renovators sell reproduction hardware if you can't find original pieces. Look in your phone book or online for salvage businesses and see what you can find. They don't usually have online catalogs because their inventory turns over so fast. I buy antique keys at flea markets and yard sales all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
