   Beans-

   I'm with you on Horton brasses. I've used their products and think they're excellent. Actually, years ago Ball & Ball drove me to Horton brass.  I wanted to use a good set of brass drop leaf table hinges on the first drop leaf table I built. I sent for their catalog and got sticker shock when I looked the prices. At the time they were a tad more than I could afford. But they had a good set of steel drop leaf hinges for less than half the price, so I ordered them.  What they sent me was two sets of "Stanley" stamped steel hinges. I could have bought them at my local hdw.store. I never went back to B&B. Now I use Horton or Whitechapel  for my "good'' brass.

   I've gotten some nice things from both Horton and Historic Housefitters.  You get what you pay for.

   Beans,

   I went to a flea market on Sunday morning and picked up 10 solid brass pulls, queen ann style, for $20 bucks.  He also had boxes of hinges.  Just another option if you have the time.
