Does anyone have a source for handle hardware similar to what is in this photo. Doesn't have to be exactly like this but I'm looking for something for the sides of my street organ project. I can't seem to find much. I looked on Lee Valley website but no luck there.

Tom, I did a quick google search for "wooden handles with brass attachments" and the first page had numerous varieties of wooden handles with brass hardware.
Rockler has this: https://www.rockler.com/rockler-custom-pull-turning-kit-modern
which is basically a pen tube with a blank turned to size. If this interests you, do you have a lathe? If not and you go this route, have a couple kids that can do this job for you, just remember to purchase the bushings along with the pulls.

Thanks, Johathan, for the link. I think I want something larger diameter. Someone had suggested to me to look at curtain hardware. I've seen items in that search that seem interesting. Yes, I have two lathes. I wouldn't mind turning my own (if fact I would prefer it). Finding the polished brass hardware that I have pictured in my head is my problem.
 
Silly, maybe, but bear with me...
Consider using the 'arms' from a toilet paper holder, and turning the wooden portion in whatever length you need. If you don't have a lathe, I'm sure one of the turners here would make it for you.

Maybe from Canada via Amazon (and if you need someone to buy here and forward to you, let me know) :
