Here’s a set of two late 1800’s sash lifts for the DIY enthusiast. They both have some rust that could either be cleaned off or left for a more rustic charm. Another option would be to simply spray paint them black with Rust-Oleum. They have not been oiled so you don’t have to worry about the paint... click picture for more info |

This whimsical finger lift was made by Kean & Doty around 1885. It features details that are used on much of their hardware that resembles like a lion tail.

These sash pulls are frequently overlooked during salvage operations because they have been painted over and have become almost invisible. It is amazing to me that these beautiful designs would ever be painted over but I guess they were not cherished years ago like they are today. Unlike the sash... click picture for more info |

This steel sash lift has the popular copper and black “tiger stripe” finish used in the early 1900’s. There is no loss of the finish and it even remains on the top of the tongue.
