    You might want to search the Brownstoner.com forum or even post this on their forums

    You might be able to order them through Home Depot.

    Brownstoner has a good list of salvage places, too.

    I saw some last week in a dumpster, so keep your eyes open around renovations . . . :roll:

    Someone recently listed some in the Classifieds on this site. I think it was in the Classifieds . . .
    (relatively short ones - not the 80 or 90 inches of most parlor floor windows)

    If you talking of the original interior wood shutters it can be hard to find the right size, let alone type of wood. Those shutters were basically a custom job back when these homes were made. I have found shutters for my place, but believe me - it was a multi-year search.
