re: G. Stickley Letterbox Writing Desk

Thank you, Anna and L/W, for your kind words and encouragement. I know of one on-line source for scaled, miniature Stickley hardware, but the cost for two pulls would have exceeded by far my entire outlay for all other materials combined, so I passed and made the little buggers my own bad self using wire from a brass-colored safety pin. I shaped them with teeny pliers and arthritic hands and then squeezed the metal repeatedly to flatten it and create (I hoped) a passable look of worked hardware. The backing “plates” are just painted wood scraps, and I secured the pulls by drilling 0.5 mm holes with my trusty pin vise. To most normal people, my obsession with such details is a sure sign of madness. But some people — like you – actually notice, and, thus, my day is made! Thanks. -. Bill
