I came across three at a locally owned store that sells/produces vintage furniture & such. They have patina & some dents which could probably be pounded out for the most part. Just wasn't sure if they might be worth grabbing.

I was out & about today & stopped back by to look at them. They are the non-clip style that snap over the nubs. I didn't take pics, but they're pretty dinged up. Somebody good with body/metal work could probably massage them out for the most part. With the patina on them, I'm not sure it'd be that big of a deal if they're not perfect. The crappy thing is that there are only 3 of them. The owner told me a lady came in and bought the missing 4th one for her kid's room. They're listed for $20 each, but he came down to $15. That would be $45 total for the three. I'm not sure they're worth that much.
