1195 is almost 5.75" long and 7/8" tall. It was designed for all my customers who liked plate 1058 but not the stepped
detail  on the ends . It also would be a family mate to 1056 steel plate.

358 Above is the cast version with very hilited hot oil Black patina. There is also a Steel version at a lower cost.

Notice plate 1124 above has six mounting holes. 1125 has four 1126 has three. You can see the rest .
A lot of backplates came nailed in and a lot were not and just have the straps holding them on the drawer face.
The two Plates on Top are a fairly small size yet fancy .If you are looking for a fancy back for a Mid sized
Handle they may work out for you.Please feel free to email  questions about appropriate mateings .The Above
set and all my Steel backplates come in 18 gauge some 16 gauge when they screw up at the cutters .And all
Come hand beveled  , Custom Slotted for handle of choice , And  with Patina of choice . Choices being
Traditional hot oil Black at the top of the list , Brown rust , Or Ferric brown shown at the Top of this page.
Blued steel (gray/Black ) Not a recommended  finish . Or Burnished bright steel also not a recommended  finish .
With the cast Bronze Backplates there are other patina possibilities like PaloVerde Green , Dark Green ,
Red Iron Oxide .Those patinas look best when hilighted. There are a few other expensive choices like Heavy Rust
or Heavy Rust under Hot Oil Black for a very authentic and old  look . For the two mentioned finishes add  %75
to the cost of any steel backplate and the time frame to make them is about a year. The two finishes are shown below.
Top is Black Oil  over Heavy Brown Rust.

These special Brown rust finishes can be made darker with oils or waxes OR can chemically be turned into Black rust
Or a Black Oil patina over them included in there additional  cost. The above is a close up of  289 in heavy Brown Rust.
