Beautiful, smooth antique cast iron with original black paint.

There is a maker's mark or foundry mark on both parts, but they are obscured. 

This appears to date to the early 1900s. There are reproductions of this knocker, but the quality is not nearly as nice as this one.

The paint has some wear from age and use. There are no mounting screws for the threaded holes, but they can be replaced.

Heavy! weighs 3-1/2 pounds.
