This auction is for a unique bronze/cast door knocker. Unique in the fact I have never seen 1 similar before. I'm not an expert, but I can tell you my house was built in 1886 & had some remodeling done in the 1930's. This included the addition of an enclosed front porch. Since the enclosed porch was built, this knocker has been hanging on the interior door to the house. I could completely understand if this had been an outer door knocker~ it certainly is scary/evil looking! I know that decorating w/ gargoyles/demons/lions & ferocious creatures was very popular way back in the day.Ring did come off once when I slammed the door; I put it back in, so it's a little crooked & could use a straightening. This ominous looking door knocker measures 8" long with a 6" wing span. Not a flimsy little guy- weighs right at about 1#. Stud spacing of 3 3/4". I'm not a metallurgist, but appears to be bronze/cast .Has remnants of paint around the edges. Other than wiping off the spider web behind it, I have not cleaned it. Includes the hardware that came with it when I took it down. PLEASE VIEW ALL PICS AND I ENCOURAGE QUESTIONS. PAYPAL PAYMENT W/IN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION'S CLOSE. THANK YOU!! I was asked to provide a photo with the knocker's ring lifted. I noticed nothing unusual UNTIL I looked at the (2) images on my computer screen. Without the creature/ring
