Antique Window Hardware

Question

Hi,

My name is David and my family has a cottage in North Western Quebec (Canada).

The cottage has old windows that are well over 50 years old.

Over the years some of the windows clips/guides (?) have broken and I figured after about 10+ years of rattling windows when the wind blows I should try and replace them.

However, I'm not sure how to find these hardware pieces (or if they even exist anymore) or what they are called.

I am looking for two different types of hardware.

Item 1. Sits on bottom horizontal part of window frame and when rotated it pushes a small rubber pad against window to keep it from rattling.

Item 2: secured to top horizontal part of window frame and seems to have a spring loaded small nylon wheel that presses against window, again to stop window from rattling in wind.

Questions:

1. Could you let me know what these items are called?

2. Do you sell or have any idea where I could buy replacement parts?

Thank you very much

PS - if it helps there is a mark on them saying "R. Belanger - 3427" but I suspect that company is long gone.

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but, based on the age of the windows, it is more than likely that the original hardware is no longer made. I'm not sure if anything that we could supply would work as replacements but I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look and see if they have any kind of workaround for your old style parts. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available. Thank you!
