    Default 50's retro handles availability?

    I have an old kitchen dresser that's going to need some cleaning up. It used to have the old fashioned handles on it once but was 'upgraded' with the newer push button handles sometime in the 50's or 60's. One of these handles is stuffed so I've tried looking around for them with no luck. They have a metal body with green plastic inserts on the ends.

    Does anyone still make these or reproductions that are similar???

    As it happens:

    I happen to have a few not as flash versions from the same era, brand new and still in their original wrappers. I have some in green and some in cream (white?).
    They probably aren't quite fancy enough for your cupboard though, but I'd be happy to help if they're suitable.

    I'm having trouble uploading the pic, so check back in a few hours or tomorrow or something!

    Cheers,

    P
