No, not that Whitechapel!

Whitechapel Ltd. is a supplier of an incredible variety of brass hardware, findings, and finials.  They have just about anything you can imagine that is cast from brass.

Prices range from a few dollars each for the feet I used on the Victorian all-in-one to hundreds of dollars for door knockers suitable for haunted mansions!

This weeks visit to the town's transfer station netted some nice brass bits that I think will find their way onto the car project and another old typewriter.

I am often asked where I acquire the materials I use in my work. The answer isn't really simple as they come from a multitude of sources like our town dump, dumpster diving, craigslist, roadside trash pickup, as well as gifts from friends and family.

But there is one online source that I check regularly and that is Sequential Glass.  Sequential Glass is an adjunct to a larger architectural salvage firm and specializes in collecting things Steampunkian.
