[TheForge] Drawer Pulls - source question

[Peter Hirst]

I'd like to broaden the topic a bit and ask about sources for uncoated (I 
beleive the industry term is "self-colored") hardware in general.  I 
scrounge as much of it as I can, but it shore would be nice to have a 
reliable source of old-school zinc-cadmium-chrome-anodized-etc-free nuts and 
bolts.  I know, I know I can make them, but with all the stuff I do that 
calls for them, I'd end up doing nothing else.
