Maybe I dreamed this- I have been known to have very strange dreams- but I was sure I've seen something like this. The ones I remembered have a threaded post on the bottom. About .25" diameter and maybe 1" tall. Even created this image to see if Google Images could locate it. All it found were bullets-

 

 

Thanks

Lew,

Check for locating pins.

I'm working on a project for my sister. I was thinking of modifying them to become small sign holders. The sign would slip into an elongated slot.

Thanks, Stick. What I envisioned was something with a threaded post on the bottom. Might be able to use the cap nut instead.

There are some specialty fasteners but usually they want you to buy 1,000.

Thanks! I may have to get some brass rod and create my own. Still waiting for response from sister as to how to proceed.

Have you browsed the Fastenal website ?

@Stick486 Thanks for the links!

 

@CharlieL I did some searches there. I need to go back and look again

These are stand-offs Lew, might get you in the right directions.

 In the search area "go to page" starts at C-6. Item below is on page C-16

Lew, go out to McMaster-Carr.  They have everything.

Lew, maybe this would give you a starting point.

@DuckSoup  @Ron Dudelston  @PostalTom Thanks for all of the suggestions!

 

Looks like it was all for naught. They decided to go without any holder. I really appreciate all of the help with my search. Hope I can return the favors.
