I am restoring a 15.5" Empress Concert Grand music box with patent date
of 1905.  When found, this box was missing all hardware, e.g., hinges,
lock, strike plate, lid support, and the escutcheon that fits the hole
on the side of the box where the crank handle is inserted.

I am nearly finished with the cabinet restoration, but I don't know
what the hardware looked like on one of these large boxes.  Can someone
give me a description of the hardware (brass, chrome, steel, etc)?
Or, better yet, send me a JPEG file of the various parts I need.

Finally, is there a source for parts?
