This finely cast, solid brass American Eagle Door Knocker came off a house in the Hudson River Valley of upstate NY It features exceptionally detailed casting of the feathers, arrows and tobacco leaves, which are being held in the eagles tallons. There is also a banner from the beak and shield on the eagles chest. This is the perfect place to have your name or house number engraved.

| The quality of the craftsmanship leads me to believe this piece was American made and likely dates to the mid 1900's. The screws on the back are manufactured and have octagonal nuts that come through the door for securing. The Eagle measures 6" tall by 7" wide and screws project out from the back a full 2". We have not cleaned this piece and it is as we have found it. A very nice addition to someone's front door. |
