I was checking through the archives, and a couple of sources that were posted did not have what I am looking for. Does anyone know of a source of bronze interlocking weatherstripping? Particularly, for the seal between an upper and lower wood window sash. Thankya.

I don't know about interlocking but I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted spring bronze weatherstripping on the rack at our local True Value Hardware store. I'm gonna buy them up as they are difficult to come by these days, at least in our area.
Quite a few antique hardware webites sell the spring bronze. It's hit or miss at the stores in my area....that's not a mistake, it's rustic
Jeff,
Try these two sources:
Accurate Metal Weatherstrip Co., 725 South Fulton Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550. Tel: 800-536-6043; Web site: http://www.accurate.thomasregister.com
Pemko, P.O. Box 18966, Memphis, TN 38141. Tel: 901-365-2160 or 800-824-3018. Web site: http://www.pemko.com.
Good luck.
McMaster Carr (mcmaster.com) used to carry metal spring weatherstripping in bronze and stainless, nail on or glue on. I assume they still do, it's not too expensive either.
I actually get it at my local Home Depot. (Boston, MA area)

Holladaym, Thanks for the links....that's not a mistake, it's rustic
In an earlier thread, somebody mentioned teflon leaf weatherstripping. Anybody know more about it? How does it compare? How is it used? and where is a good source? (I'm in need of some better windows!)
ThanksJake Gulick
