Lot 166: Metal Heavy Two-pin Bracket Color: Bronze Description: This is a very unusual bracket made out of bronze with lead cobs. Collectors have never seen a bracket like this and the only reference to bronze in any catalog that collectors are aware of relates to the use of bronze to attach two spools to a back. The purpose of this bronze bracket is unknown, although perhaps it was used in an area that was inhospitable to the typical cast iron bracket. Even "Mr. Pinman" had never seen anything like it. Clearly a very rare and standout addition for the bracket collector. While it is risky to say "the only one known," all the collectors we spoke with had never seen another one like it. The beautiful patina enhances the uniqueness of this bracket. Estimate: $300 - $500 Open: $1 Price Realized: $660 |
