    Beach metal? What is it?

    I don't have any idea what this may be. 1 3/4" rd. Might be copper and i believe it to come off an old boat/ship many yrs back due to the location.
    It was mounted to wood.
    Thanx for the help.

    Looks like an old steamer trunk decoration or maybe off of an old desk? Nice Find

    Looks like a fancy old drawer pull to me.

    Re: Beach metal? What is it?

    I agree that it is some type of furniture drawer knob. The tiny hole is for a 'set tack' to prevent the knob from spinning when used, thus all the hardware would stay facing the same direction. If it were a decorative piece, it would not have the larger center post, it would have 4 or 2 tiny 'set holes.' Nice find, Breezie
