I'm finishing up my first mission style chest of drawers. I have
decided on using a mission or arts and crafts style bail pull for the
drawers. Haven't decided between black or brass yet. I started looking
at online sources, and found quite a few (Rockler, Woodcraft, Van
Dyke, etc...) since these are all online and most of them look
identical, it's hard to decide where to buy. I have found price
variations between $3.99-$10 for what appears to be the same basic
item, quite a price difference when you are talking about 12 pulls.
I'd appreciate any advice on sources you are fond of.
Thanks for the help

Well, gee, I start out with the local Ace Hardware Store, I'm awful
fond of it, and they usually have what I need. OK, that's what you
asked for.

With their prices for A/C hardware, it might be cheaper to
buy a forge and anvil, then make your own.
Wow, that's as bad as Tansu hardware.

I've had great luck with both Van Dyke and Rockler. 3.99 for a mission
style pull is a steal.

Don't forget all the hardware www.leevalley.com offers.
Cast A&C pulls for under $7 vs. $62 (or $11) at these
other two places. All are nice, but whose pockets
extend that deep? (For Colonial A&C, especially.)
I love Rejuvenation's work on all but their hardware.
Their black A&C "Drawer Pull with Ring" looks like
it was fished out of a river. None of the peening
has any crispness at all. Compare it to Colonial's
C347KL or Lee Valley's 01W29.51 and I'll go with
LVT any time.
Don't you guys get all 3 catalogs? Lee Valley has Tools,
Hardware, and Garden cats. (There's more to tool porn
than mere woodworking tools, y'see.)

If you could look at them in person there is a difference the main
difference is a cast piece vs. a stamped one. I am lucky enough to be close
to Rockler and Woodcraft so that I could look at them. The best value I
found was at Restoration Hardware. I think I paid 6-7 a piece for the 30 I
needed for a mission bedroom set I just finished. I bought mine in person
but they are available on line though they did not have all the finishes
that they had in the store.

Lee Valley ... worth a purchase just to get on their catalog list. The
latest hardware version of their catalog would particularly interest you.

For high-quality pulls and knobs, I have found Horton Brass to be a
very good source. They are at: <http://www.horton-brasses.com/>
