✅ SOLVED Odd Piece of Hardware

Howdy All. Found this at a 1890's farmhouse, pretty deep. The only marking on it is the word "UP". Let me know if you can identify it. Thanks and good luck out there.

Maybe some more photos of yours from a different angle might help.

Try looking for a shutter latch instead of a window latch.

What you have is an early 1900's 'window shade bracket;' the roller type. Here's a pic of one that is a little more fancy than yours. Neat find, Breezie

That makes sense, the 'UP' indicates which is the 'left' side & which is the 'right' side. This would be the LEFT side.

Hello Breezie. Nice ID I think you have it. A window shade bracket fits nicely. I can now mark this as solved. Thanks.

You're quite welcome. At least you know the household was affluent enough to have brass window shades, which were probably costly during that time. Now go find some more goodies. Breezie
