A request for old junk

I'm looking for some rusty old metal crap. You see, I'm fixing up my old shed, but I don't want to put shiny new hardware on it--it's jarring and out of place. It's sided with rusty sheet metal, and inside is full of old rusty tools. I think it's all quite beautiful. But in order to make the door work, I need a handle and a bolt-lock.
The handle I'm picturing is this. I'm not prepared to pay 16 bucks for it however. The bolt would be something like this, and rather than buy a new one, I'm hoping to find one on an old door somewhere. And finally, I'd love to have an emblem to hang over the door like the brass sun that we have inside and I'm not allowed to put on the shed. Anything metal and symmetrical and tarnished and such.
So maybe you have this kind of old metal treasure around your house? I can trade, like maybe you want old record albums or a small animal's skull or a type tray or something else? Or I can send you money, just not as much money as buying something on eBay would cost me.
