EMS1042 Vintage Early 1900’s Brass Letter Slot with Wood Interior

Vintage Early 1900’s Brass Letter Slot with Wood Interior

This little wrought brass mail slot is cute in it’s own right but I particularly like the hand made wood piece for the inside of the door.  The brass has an aged patina that you could polish if you wish. The wood piece was stained but most of the stain has worn off over the years. The wood has some...

EMS1038 Sleek Cast Brass Mid-Century Mail or Letter Slot

Sleek Cast Brass Mid-Century Mail or Letter Slot

Although I usually opt for an aged patina on old hardware, I think this mail slot would be spectacular polished to a high sheen.  All the old lacquer finish has been removed so it would be quite easy for you to do. The back of the flap (seen from inside the house) is shiny already. This slot is...
