Question
fishbone chain
I have been looking for a supplier of brass fishbone chain to buy by the foot. I mean the type that looks like a curb chain but each link has a bit of extra flattened wire extended on each side to resemble the spine of a fish. Any idea's you have would be appreciated.
AnswerI found one that was a little Pricey but it depends on how much you want to buy:

It does drop with over 50'
I found one Korean supplier that requires a 100 Meters minimum which is normal for most chain mfgs.

The Supplier I bought most of my Brass chain from didn't list it and they don't sell by the foot.:

Wish I had more help for you but The Korean supplier should probably work out, I would recommend you email them and ask for a sample to be sent to you.
they should be able to mail you a small piece in an envelope.
They might be able to also make what size you need if you are able to order enough quantity.
It is a very unusual style.
Even Alibaba only listed 5 manufacturers:

Fire Mountain, Rio Grande may have it but it wasn't listed on their websites.
