Anyone got two Monkey Tail Window Catches ?

[L1zzy]

As you may or may not know from my depressed ramblings recently I'm renovating all 4 of the front windows in my 18th C cottage in Dorset. Two windows have Monkey Tail Window catches and two seem to just have a straight bar latch which holds the opening casement to the closed casement.

I have all 4 casement stays but i'm looking to replace the 2 bar latches with , ideally, two original Monkey tail window catches. Local reclaimation yard (no names no pack drill) said they'd get me some and never heard another thing from them - I know I can get repro ones from Walcott Reclamation but thought I'd ask the venerable forum folk if they have /know of a couple I could buy?

I bought some new from
http://www.broughtons.com/

can't link direct to the page as they use frames, but go to door furniture, hand forged.

There are also several other places which do them if you google for them.

Thanks Graham - I was kinda hoping for some old ones but will resort to repro if necessary - will take a look at your recommended site seeing as I'm currently bored to death at work & thinking .....if I was at home I could have stripped another window frame by now...... sad isn't it!!
