   Those are an older style. The important part will be the size of the pin shank, those look like 1/4". The supports don't really show when they are in place. HD will have some similar, the difference will be a hole in the support, rounded edges and brass plating. Rockler has some also.

   Hi Hammer,

    

   Unfortunately, the supports will be visible, because the shelves are all glass.  I think his best bet might be to buy all new shelf supports.  Maybe there is some small hardware store out there with some old hardware lying around.  Who knows??

   Thanks,Adam

   The HD stores here in Oregon have gone to 5mm pins. Lowes still sell brass 1/4 ones - from the pictures you provided, that is most likely what you have. If you want the patina, check out rockler or rejuvination hardware - they sell chemicals that will do it.

   Rockler carries both 1/4" and 5mm shelf pins; there's more variety in 1/4" than 5mm.

   In addition to what everyone else has stated here, if you find that they are 5 mm instead of 1/4", Rockler sells the little inserts to adapt a 1/4" drilled hole to hold the 5mm pins.  I was just there picking up a bunch of 1/4" pins, and saw them.

   They definately have the exact shelf pins/supports that you are looking for.  I have a bunch of the bright brass and the antique brass in my shop, and I bought them from Rockler.
