BRETTUNS VILLAGE TRUNK SHOP

HANDLE END CAPS AND BRACKETS

HANDLE END CAPS

These go over the ends of your new handles, made of stamped steel.  No shiny brass finish on these, they look right at home on your old trunk.
Sized to fit over handles that are 1.25 inch wide, the normal size.  We sell these in sets of four for $10, delivered to your door.
These are reproductions of the most common trunk handle end cap in the history of the planet.
These do not have pins - just nail your handles to the trunk, then anil these over the ends of the handles.
May be used with handles that have slots or unslotted handles - it doesn't matter.

BRASS HANDLE END CAPS

Made to fit our standard trunk handles, 1.25" wide.
These should be used with handles that have slots in them in order to allow the handle to slide back and forth in the bracket,
which allows the handle to lay flat against the side of the trunk when not in use.
These are brass-plated steel and are sold in sets of four for $10, USA shipping included.
We throw in four 1.5" brass nails that are intended to go through the center opening, then through the slot in the handle.
Each set contains four brass plated end caps and four brass plated 1.5" nails.

FISH SCALE END CAPS

Modern reproductions of the popular fish scale end caps that were used on many trunks in the mid to late 1800s.
These are simply used to cover the end of a leather trunk handle.  They'll fit over handles anywhere between 1' and 1-1/4" wide.
They're made of stamped steel and have a durable antique brass or bright brass finish.
You can still paint the antiqued ones if you get the notion - that's up to you - but they look nice and old just the way they are.

HANDLE BRACKETS OR LOOPS
WITH PINS

Loop Style #1 (Stock Number LOOP1P)  --  brass finish, with pins (also available in antique brass finish - see below)
These brass-finish brackets fit over slotted handles like the ones shown above.  Takes four nails to attach each loop, so you need a total of 16 nails to do one trunk.
Note that the handles don't need to be nailed to the trunk if you use these loops, the pins under the loops hold the handles in place,
and the slots allow the handle to lay flat against the trunk when not in use.  Slick.
Sized to fit handles that are 1.25" wide
A set of four of these, delivered to your door (no extra shipping or handling charges for US customers) are priced at $12.00.

Handle Loop Brackets with No Pins

Loop Style #2 (Stock Number LOOP2NP)  --  no pins
These babies fit over wide-end trunk handles like our TH-02 handles.  Total of sixteen nails required to attach four loops to a trunk.
The handles themselves do not need to be nailed to the trunk; the loop holds the handle in place.
The handles can move within the loop, so they lay flat against the trunk when not being gripped.
These are available in bright brass, antique brass, or nickel plated finish.
They have a polyurethane coating on them.
Sized to fit handles that are 1.25" wide
Set of four, delivered in the USA (no extra shipping or handling charges) is priced at $11.50.
