Steamer Trunk Hardware

[Meatplow]

Good Afternoon,

I am currently searching diligently for steamer trunk hardware. I have been to several (all of them possibly) of hardware websites...they all look alike. The particular hardware I am in quest of does not match what I see on authentic original, even opulent trunks. Is there anyone out there that can direct me to a more clandestine site that may end my search?

Please and Thanks in advance

If I remember correctly, the wood whisperer did a video podcast on steamer trunks, including the hardware.

Restoring steamer trunks sounds interesting.  It would be wood working and antiquing combined.  Building a child's toy chest is the only kind of experience I have so far.  You were searching for steamer trunk hardware and this might help you:  http://www.rufkahrs.com/Hardw3/trnkantq.html
