How to Make New Antique Bow Clips | Engels Coach Shop

We need old, original irons for this chuck wagon box we're building, but I don't have enough old wagon bow clips. So, I have to make new clips, but from original irons, hence we'll have the new, but antique, original bow clips we need. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles comes with its challenges, but is most times obtainable.
