Hi all. I've just bought an antique cabinet circa 1910-ish. It has a missing catch which I'd like to replace, if possible. Can anyone tell me what this catch is called?

Thumb turn latch, but there is a huge variety.
Google “ antique thumb turn cabinet latch”
 
Yes I've messaged them. It says 'door handles' in description so I'm not sure.

Thanks again.

I would be surprised if they are "door handle"-sized. The screw holes would be massive if the handles were the size of doorhandles.
 
Yes, that's right. They're cabinet catches alright, but unfortunately the ones in the ad' are just a bit too big. He's having a look through the rest of his stock and he said he'd let me know if he has any smaller ones. So for now, the search continues. Thanks again.
