Tansu Hardware
Came across this hardware today up for auction. I dont know about you, but when I was purchasing reproduction hardware for the cabinets I made, I was shocked at the prices. This guy starts his bidding at 24.99 for the lot, I paid that for one drawer pull. What we have here is a collection of warabite hikite (drawer pulls), various tooshi-zagane (back plates), some modern looking locks, keys, hinges, and what looks like keyhole collars or maybe zagane (escutheons). The handles are probably machine made due to their age, early 1900′s. If I was still making furniture I would probably pick this up if just for inventory.
