These

　　handles are new stock and are very suitable for handle replacements on Antique

　　Trunks or newly built Chests--Included in this purchase are the

　　following: Two black leather straps  cut from cowhide 1 1/4" wide by 8 1/2"  inches

　　long by 1/4" and very sturdy-- Four metal strap ends with coat of primer and

　　a finish coat of hammered black enamel. Eighteen- 1-1/4" long cut steel nails to fasten

　　the leather to the trunk. Nails are to be placed two, three or four per each end of strap under the position

　　of the metal strap ends in a vertical position for best attachment. Form the

　　permanent handle loop to suit before completing the nailing. Eighteen 3/4" split

　　brass plated tacks to fasten the metal strap ends. The handles measure approx 10 1/2"

　　metal end to metal end with the handle loop but can be shortened by cutting a

　　bit off of the leather strap if required to fit. My feedback indicates that

　　customers that have bought these handles are very pleased. free
