Brass Thumbturns and Kawneer catch.

Another brass job - some thumbturns for 1940's/1950's slide stays.















This is one that I have been meaning to do for a long time.
This fitch catch was used on Kawneer sashes, the Alderley, I believe
and it engaged into what must be, the world's strongest fitch catch keep!
The keeps would never fail but the catches are now starting to show their
age, a little
So, using the same assembly details as another catch we do, this is the
next on the list.





























I will come back next time, with details of the machined parts.
