✅ SOLVED Like a drawer pull, but heavy duty.

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

When I found it, I thought drawer pull, and another one was recently posted, that guy thinks drawer pull, but it just too heavy.

There is nothing quite like it on google images searched "antique drawer pulls" and nothing quite like in images "trunk handles"

So thought I give it a try here, someones knows definitively.

Thanks for looking. And any help.

Years ago, I dug one or two of these exact same design brass items, searching Colonial sites. They have been mystery items for quite some time.

The door knocker theory seems to fit rather well.

Here's as close a match as could be found with a quick Google search. The basic shape of the piece here, follows the same design idea.

Like I said many uses for this type of handle... UK Finds Database - - - UKDFD the plate is for added strength.
