WANTED: catch for berliner record box

[EarlH]

I have one of these record cases and am in need of the leather strap on the top.

Does anyone have one or know where I can acquire one?

Thanks for any information!

All the best!

VanDyke's Restoration used to sell those straps like that. I think what you want is on page 123 in the 2015 catalog and they are listed at $16.99 in medium brown or black.

So, the top half of the catch is 1 ⅜" wide, and 1 ¼" tall, I didn't bother to measure the bottom part, but I've included some better pictures of the catch itself. Also, I measured the handle hardware, and it is 5" from outside to outside, and the width is 9/16" so probably a ½" piece of leather where it attaches.
