Their bodies are 1" deep and the base is 2 3/4" deep. They are all in excellent condition, with a nice surface from age and use. These were attached to the edge of a roof to catch snow and ice.

This is an old and very decorative cast iron gate. It is 31 1/2" wide, by 23" high and 2" deep. The surface, in both old black and some gray paint has crazed and crackled. This piece has some unusual casting incorporated throughout as studded balls, which are set off nicely by the textured spear points. The gate is from Pennsylvania, probably made in the late 1800's, and is in very sturdy, used condition. The price is $275.00. Inventory Code: ARHO. Image ... The other side ... Side view ...

These are the decorative potions of a pair of wrought iron andirons. They seem to have been hand made, as they are not quite the same size. They are from the 1800's. They have a wonderful sculptural look and can be hung, mounted on a base, or used as "accents" in a variety of settings. If desired, the parts which held the wood could easily be replaced so they could also be used in a fireplace again. The andirons were painted black originally and retain some of the paint, while also having a well patinated and desirable old surface. There is a old welding repair on the leg of one. The pieces are about 16" high, 8 3/4" wide, and 2" deep. The price for the pair is $175.00. Inventory Code: TTTA. Decorative wrought iron ... Side view ... Reverse ... Another side view ...

This is an old hand made painted metal shrine assemblage. It incorporates a person with carved wood head in the center, surrounded by several objects including a dog?, flag, cross, bird?, tree, and flowers. The circular base that supports all this has what looks like either fish with cross tails or bombs. Most of the objects and base are cut from heavy sheet metal and painted. The base is mounted to a heavy iron rod, connected to it by several other iron pieces. The end is tapered to be put in the ground. This looks like a piece which combines Christian symbols with a nature religion, like Santeria. It may have an origin like the Osanyin bird cult; or possibly a Yoruba god. It is perhaps more Haitian or Caribbean than African. Because of outdoor use it is difficult to be specific about the age. With some galvanized wire it likely was made within the last 50 years. The base is 12" in diameter; the objects on it are up to 7" high; the fish, about 3 1/2" long. The total height is 54". It is in good sturdy condition, with rust, but much of the paint remaining. The price is $295.00. Inventory Code: ARHP.

This decorative iron hand-shaped form is part of a mechanism that was used for cutting material for gloves. It is made in two parts, of heavy steel and held together by heavy springs and canvas straps. This acted as a guide for the fabric as a cutting blade came down over it. The hand compressed when the material was cut and gave room for the cutter. A guess of the age would place it from the 1920's to '40's. It is in very good condition, and measures 8 7/8" by 6 3/8". The price is $150.00. Inventory Code: ARTS.

This is a very strange metal and wood contraption. We believe it was used as a parade torch or flambeau. It looks like an old (possibly) oil can was attached to a metal holder with forked swing arms. A wood round "handle"? was inserted in the end. The metalwork is attractive, and it is unusual and decorative. (It was formerly displayed on a wall). This piece is old, probably early 1900's and in good shape. It is 33" long. From the collection of Herbert Hemphill. The price is $85.00. Inventory Code: ARPH.

Here is a series of old hand made, folky, metal cutouts painted on both sides. These pieces came out of an auto mechanic's garage in the Bedford, PA area. The garage had been closed since the 1970's and these had been adhered to the walls for decoration. As a result, many have marks on the back side showing where they were glued. These cutouts were likely made no later than the 1950's, and the look of some are definitely earlier. They are all original and untouched (other than a little cleaning). Priced individually, there will be a discount for a group purchase.
