Where can I buy pin backs? (nicer than the ones from the local craft store?)?

I make assemblage art-brooches out of found objects. I am looking for pin backs that are a higher quality, less "crafty" than the ones I can get at the local craft store. Maybe with an antiqued finish. Brass or sterling silver or possibly vintage. Also interested in ones that have a bail (combo pin back/bail). THANKS!

Look online. You can actually purchase them at wholesale prices, which are wayyy cheaper. So do you use like buttons, or just whatever neat little things you find?
