Heintz Art Metal Bronze Vase  Otto Heintz was granted a patent for his silver over bronze overlay design in 1912.  This antique Bronze vase stands about 8" tall.  It is in very nice condition and the patina is original and untouched.  There is no damage to the silver overlay or other parts.  No dents.  A very nice example.

Patented Cast Iron "Beehive" or "Ball of String" String Holder   This is a very nice looking and great form of a cast iron "Beehive" string holder.  The patent info is on the ring running around the center.  The casting is very well done and detailed.  It splits apart to insert the ball of string, and then you would pull the needed amount through the top.  These were used on store countertops, or in the kitchen or pantry.

Victorian Door Knocker    This might not be "right".  It looks a bit rough, and crude to actually date from the 1800's, but was in the box with all the other vintage hardware we have listed.  You decide.

Victorian Era Mechanical Draft    This is a neat piece of cast iron.  It just has a neat look thinking about what a thermostat looks like today.
