IT IS MADE OF BRASS WITH AN EBONISED WOODEN HANDLE.

THE WOOD IS UNFORTUNATELY SPLIT!

IT IS ABOUT 10" HIGH AND WEIGHS ABOUT 525g.

THERE IS A MAKER'S MARK STAMPED ON THE BACK WHICH READS "J.C. & S" AND NUMBERED "7372".

J.C. & S (JOSEPH COOK & SON) WERE BIRMINGHAM SILVERSMITHS, IN BUSINESS FROM 1890 to 1939 AND BASED IN LIVERY St.

DESPITE THE DAMAGE TO THE WOODEN HANDLE THIS IS STILL A QUALITY VICTORIAN / EDWARDIAN PIECE OF DOOR FURNITURE, MADE BY A DOCUMENTED BIRMINGHAM SILVERSMITH & WOULD BE A SUPERB ADDITION TO ANY PERIOD RESTORATION.
