OTHER ANTIQUE IRON

Door Rollers #1: These incredible, double adjustable hanging door rollers came from the doors of a defunct rail road depot in Western CT. All that was left of the depot at the time the doors and hardware were salvage was the 10' stone walls that supported the building and the doors. The rest had deteriorated and collapsed over the years from neglect. I had approximately 20 pairs, so I'm assuming I'll have around 12 useful pairs once I go through them all. Most are all the same variation, but there is a pair or two that are made slightly different. They should date to the late 1800's...
