BRASS HANDLE END CAPS
Made to fit our standard trunk handles, 1.25" wide, either with or without slots. 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, continental USA shipping included. We throw in brass pins that are intended to go through the center opening, then through the slot in the handle.

FISH SCALE END CAPS
Modern reproductions of the p[opular 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 finish. You can still paint them if you get the notioon - that's up to you - but they look nice and old just the way they are.
Fish Scale End Caps $12 per set of four, USA postage included
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. A set of four of these, delivered to your door (no extra shipping or handling charges for US customers) are priced at $12.00.
Same Brackets - Antique Brass

on old trunks.

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 brass-plated steel, available in either bright brass or antique brass finish. They have a polyurethane coating on them. Set of four, delivered in the USA (no extra shipping or handling charges) is priced at $11.50.

Loop Style #3
Loop Style #3 (Stock No. Loop3)(very imaginative)
These are smaller loops, often used on doll trunks or smaller boxes. They'll accept a handle that is no wider than 7/8" and no thicker than 3/8".
Brass finish, but not too terribly shiny. Attach with nails only because if you use screws strange voodoo things may happen to your trunk.
These babies are $8 per set of four.
