[W&B] small hinges

[David Silver]

They have some nice stuff there, but the problem is that it all looks too
new.  I try to accumulate as many bits and pieces of brass and leather
(especially hinges and handles) as I can, mostly from, as Greg noted,
cases.  I've made a habit of it.  Now it never ceases to amaze me, when I
need a particularly odd little brass piece for something, I'll sift
through my spare parts and find it!  I really think every wood & brass
collector should do this.  You never know...

Best wishes,
