The Vintage Cabinet Hardware

Well, since they are so hard to come by....I decided that they had to be kept.  Problem was, they were the faux gold tone finish....hate that.  Hate the word "faux" also. Here they are as found:

Close up

They are really neat vintage style pulls

Here they are, with the bakelite type end caps masked off

Here they are with the primer applied...

And with a few coats of flat black finish coat

It was the only alternative, as the faux silver (chrome) always looks so fake

At least the flat black actually does look like hammered wrought iron

It is a vintage look

And here are the rest of the handles, hinges...

That look quite sharp actually

Below are all of the square-ish hammered looking screws

Bonus points for painting all of them flat black to coordinate

I would have gladly bought new, but you just can't find them any longer
