I can't find these anywhere.
These are for stained wooden bow cases (holds 40 violin bows-for
dealers)
They are like those 2 clasps you find on luggage. They are two piece-
one mounts on the upper half of the case with a U-shaped spring loaded
clasp that comes down around the similar square on the bottom half to
keep the case closed. (2 per case)
The total up and down length when mounted is about an inch and a
half, maybe a little less.
I thought Stanley makes them. They have everything in the way of
solid brass hinges, clasps, etc- but not these. I saw them once in a
hardware store but can't find them.
If you can help, please email:

They're called a "suitcase latch", oddly enough.

I think he was looking for "box snap closures" (prolly
AKA "suitcase latches") which Weegee steered him to at
