I never prided myself on and I'm probably still not, but today I must of hit a furniture spot or something. It's was fun! IMG_0949.JPG

This is my favorite one. Anything with a old eagle. Closest to a plate I'll ever get. Lol IMG_0950.JPG IMG_0951.JPG

It's unfortunate that the furniture may have been destroyed, but very fortunate that you were able to save those great hardware pieces!

This is a plate back drawer handle with an American Eagle motif complete with 13 stars representing the original American colonies. It is solid brass and made in England

Hello Truth1253. Nice digs ya got there, always good to find cool old hardware like that...don't give up on finding a plate, there should be some near Abita Springs.

I am hunkered down near Orlando waiting for this Irma thing to go by....arrrghh...not often we cannot dig around here...just glad I'm not further south.

Thanks for the post and Good Luck out there. C9

I just wish I knew where to look.

Yes, I recognized it as a federal style pull from the years of religiously watching the Antiques Roadshow. That thing is awesome, hope you can recover even more from your site.
