I Found this at a yard sale but I have no idea what it is. Thoughts?” π§ πππ See in the comments…
This iron piece has stamping on both sides. The iron plate swivels along an iron post, which has a spiraled end. Do you have any clue?
If you thought this was an iron flue damper then you are correct! This one was kind of a cheat since many of these are still in place. It just so happens that we rarely see them. And this is one of the many joys of antique shopping- getting to see interesting objects!
