Cast Iron Hand Holding Glass Ball Socket Fitting Victorian Style Hardware

A cast iron hand and sleeve holding a round glass ball is a charming detail in the Victorian style, where iron castings and glass balls were popular on furniture and decorative hardware. This one has the look of an old workshop find that would be fun to display on a shelf or desk, or to mount for a repurposing or restoration project. The hand is cast iron with a raised cuff band and embossed shapes on the sleeve.
