Sunday, July 29, 2007  Mystery of the mysteriously mysterious
window hardware  Hello All, I'm hoping that someone can help us
solve the mystery of our mysterious window hardware.  Here's a
shot of the original window hardware we have on oh 2/3rds of our
windows. We were hoping to be able to buy some replacement
hardware so we can have latches that match-plus we think these
are way more cool than the regular latches you see in the
catalogs.  You see, the little round cap thing rotates on the
turned rod. You pivot the rod into the catch and then rotate the
cap down tight to lock the window in place. Here's what it looks
like when its locked down. We have not seen anything like this
in any of our fancy/expensive repro hardware catalogs. Heck, I
even asked the folks at Restoration Hardware (I want one of
those crazy bat lights-if you don't know what I'm talking about
get their catalog) who had a nice booth at the pacific coast
builders show if they had seen anything like it and they had
not!?!??!!?!?! BTW I fiddl
