About 6 years ago I got some silver leaf in sheets that were about 7.5 in. sq. I've about used that supply up and need to get some more.
The original packaging shows no sign of who the original vendor might have been. It does carry the code "TS0217" on it, though. All I can seem to find are the 3 3/8" sheets.
Anybody know of a source for the larger sheets?

Does it have to be leaf? Bullseye carries silver foil that's listed as 9.5x9.5.

Olympic Color Rod also carries various types of leaf and foil in that size (and good glassblowing supply houses often have it, if there's one near you)

And probably Gilded Planet has the largest supply of retail precious metal leaf; less foil, though

The grandaddy of them all is Sepp. I used to be able to go there and buy stuff, but someone told me they only do wholesale online. Don't know if it's true or not (and I'm too lazy to look...)

You can also find it on ebay if you look around, but be careful.

Thanks, Cynthia.
I'm pretty sure, now, that it was foil that I had - not leaf. I had used some copper foil and it was so much heavier (thicker) than the silver I was using, that I just assumed that what I had was leaf.
Anyway, I ordered some of the BE foil and it's identical, as best I can tell, to the stuff I had previously been using. And comes in 9" x 9" squares, to boot.
