TRUNK STRAPS AND STRAP TABS FOR SALE

In each strap set you get two complete straps, comprised of a total of four parts.  The shorter piece (buckle end), which is 20 inches long,
attaches to the front of the trunk, with the buckle resting below the lid's edge.  The longer part, which has the holes punched in it, attaches to the back of the lid,
runs across the top, and then hangs down the front to buckle in place.  Either of the two pieces may be trimmed to the proper length, just cut them with a razor knife or sharp scissors.
These straps are about a tenth of an inch thick, so they'll drape to fit over slats after some time.  They can be attached with our brass nails.

Our trunk straps are stitched together, just like the originals.
Not riveted or stapled like some low quality straps you'll see around the neighborhood.

Our standard trunk strap set consists of four pieces:  2 buckle-end straps, 20" long each, and 2 straps, 40" long, with holes punched for the buckle post.
This set will work for one trunk that measures anywhere less than about 22" high, 22" deep.
We also sell strap tabs to hold these straps in place, made from matching leather.  Just scroll down the page a bit.

Our strap sets are priced by the set, with shipping included in the price.
A set includes all four pieces - enough for one trunk.  Two pieces that have buckles on them,
two pieces that are longer and have holes punched in them for the buckle tongue.

Some trunks just need short straps on the front of the trunk. Same construction as our other straps, but these are short.  Nail the long end (with the holes in it) to the front face of the lid of the trunk (and you can trim it to fit).
Nail the buckle piece to the base of the trunk, also on the front, so that they match up.  Piece of cake.  Sold as a set of four pieces - two of each end.
Straps are 1" wide.  Buckle end is 5-1/2" long overall (to the end of the buckle).  Strap end is 11-3/4" long.

STRAP TABS

These are the little things that hold the straps (above) onto your trunk.  The typical trunk requires 6 of these to complete the job, some larger trunks require 8.
We sell them in sets of either 6 or 8, what a coincidence.  These are cut with a die and klicker (also known as the big kerchunk machine) here in Maine,
made from harness leather.  Sets of 6 tabs are $15.00, sets of 8 tabs are $20.00.  Both prices include postage in the USA.

Each strap tab measures 4 and 3/16" long by 1 and 7/8" wide at the widest points.
The narrow middle part of the tab is 1 and 1/8" wide.
