I am restoring an old sewing rocker and I’m having trouble finding some decorative bolts (barrel bolts?). This one had the ends peened over but I had to remove all of them to facilitate repair and stripping. Thanks for any help folks!

Van Dykes Restorers, Whitechapel, Horton Brasses... I looked through all the catalogs to no avail.So I decided to use a Truss Head bolt which has a low profile, unobtrusive head and T-Nuts on the other side. I should have thought of this earlier! The old bolts were just peened over on the ends. Thanks anyway...
