I'm in the middle of some restorations/projects.
Can someone send me the info for time period correct rivets and tools? Appreciate any help, thank you.
Just picked up that 1957 in the middle, top, someone put the hardware back on using screws, so those will also get an evaporust bath!

The box on the far right was rusted beyond recognition, had no choice but sandblast and powder coat, made that little wood top, think I'll do that for the other two as well, with a better piece of wood though.

Most likely semi tubular rivets for appearance purposes assuming you can get to both sides of the panel. To set this type of rivet on something like the drawer handles, you'd need a squeeze type tool that likely costs more than you've spent on all the boxes unless you have the capability to modify a C-clamp to use for flaring and clamping the rivets.
