Source for Long Brass Screw Eyes?

[Steve Sanford]

The old Herter's Model 63 and 72 etc had solid brass screw eyes and washers to fasten the head to the body. (They switched to steel later on.)

Does anybody know of a source for such in 5" , 6" ?

I want to use them for repairing old Herters and also for making new foamers.

Thanks.

There is also a seller on ebay that has them for $23.00/dozen plus S&H.
Bob should be cheaper than that.....

Another friend put me onto the eBay source.

Bob at Decoy Rigs does not carry brass eyes - too expensive. So, I ordered 2 dozen SS 6" screw eyes from him - $15 / dozen.

Thanks again,

SJS

Steve,
Bob used to carry them, but wasn't sure if he still did or not. I had bought some from him probably 4 or 5 years ago.
Glad to hear you found something that will work......
