I was wondering where one might find unbleached bone nuts, saddles and bridge pins for a reasonable price. I've got a fair amount of buffalo bone (white) for nuts+saddles, but I like the patina, and I'd like to get some bone bridge pins to match. Unslotted would be preferred, too.

I believe I've seen Walter Lipton/Euhponon mentioned, and I'm sure they used to have an online catalog, but for the life of me, I'm having zero luck finding it.

Any help?Mattia Valente38707.1744907407

Chrislin Tradins has unbleached bone. Might give Christie a shout to see if she has pins as well. I know she has blanks.

Russ: I kinda meant other than the usual suspects, who seem a slight bit on the pricey side ;-)

Paul: thanks, I'll shoot her an email!

Walter sent me a couple he got from Taiwan via eBay. They were very hard and high quality. Much denser and harder than the ones I have got from other "sources". I think he said they were Buffalo Bone.

Unbleached, though?

I've got a bunch of Taiwan-sourced white buffalo bone, and it's good quality stuff. I'm just looking around for alternatives for those times the combo dictates a more vintage-y feel and look.
