I need a bunch (about 200) of cardholders. I'm talking about the little metal frame that goes on the front of a drawer and lets you slip in a card describing the contents of the drawer. These used to be standard on things like storage drawers, file cabinets, etc. Size is not critical (2 x 3 inches seems about right). Cheap is good.
This seemed like the kind of thing Lee Valley would have, but I didn't see them in the Hardware section their web site. Can anybody suggest a source?

How about Lee Valley?
I found one style at Constantine's

Note: Lee Valley's hardware calls them 'Label Holders' and a search for Label holders at Lee Valley.

I've seen them at Rockler's. I KNOW they have them with the little tab to use as a drawer pull (like the old library card catalogs) but pretty sure they also have them without. Have you checked their on-line catalog?
Chrome plated brass, $6.00/dozen, from India.
Got them on ebay.
From memory, came from an outfit called GraceDecor in Memphis.
If this doesn't work, E-Mail me late Monday, will try to find the actual address I used.

RE: Subject
$6/6 pack, not $0.50 each.

Give this bloke a go. I have purchased some stuff from him and found the prices to be pretty good.
Search Lee Valley on "card holder" (two words) and you'll find them, also search Rockler on "card holder" and you'll find a number of them--"label" will get you a few more.
Found it.
WOW! What a perfect example of ebay pricing. In this thread I have seen these card holders selling for a low of $0.69 each to a price of $6.95 (plus 6 bucks shipping for a total of $12.00 each) on ebay. I guess some of us do great on ebay but it seems everytime I check anything out on ebay it is a real rip off. The other day I saw someone wearing a T Shirt. Emblazoned across the front and back were the following words: "I sold my brain on EBay." A crazier phenomenon I have observed is buyers paying up to 5x the price for so-called "antique" tools which are actually iin current production. Then there are the countless scams. For example, I have an interest in audiophile equipment. Recently I was on a website where a guy was advertising a very high-end amplifier for which he wanted around $6,000. While perusing Ebay I found the identical ad--photo, verbiage, everything down to the last line. It was being advertised by a guy in India who instructed the buyer to only send payment by Western Union. The scammer in India simply surfs the web, picks out items he thinks will sell, lifts the ad, puts it on EBay for less money, and instructs buyers to send funds only by Western Union. I just wonder how many people are sucked in by such scams. I send EBay a notice of this obvious scam and never got a response. You would think EBay would want to control this scamming out of their own self interest. All of this FWIW.
