Philco dial rivets (eyelets)?
#8

I used to do PC board repair in the navy where I had to replace brass eyelets which look similiar to the dial rivets. If you try to set them with a punch by tapping straight down you'll split them every time. Use a punch and roll the edge down by hand until you can't get it down any further. By rolling I mean put the punch into the rivet and turn it in a circle so the end mushrooms outward. Then you can give it a final set with a punch and a small hammer. I've seen small eyelets in the model airplane section at hobby shops, but I didn't know the dollhouse gang used them also.
