Hardesty-Quittner Inc - Fireplace accessory - Cast iron - Wrapping paper holder

Decorative vintage cast-iron newspaper roller (also known as a paper briquette maker or paper roll holder).

Originally used to tightly roll old newspapers or paper into cylindrical 'briquettes' that served as kindling or fuel for the fireplace or wood stove.

Nowadays often used as a nostalgic decorative piece by the hearth or as a holder for wrap or butcher paper.

This model newspaper roller was historically marketed by the American distributor Hardesty-Quittner Inc; they imported and distributed in the twentieth century (the ’60s and ’70s) many cast-iron fireplace accessories and nostalgic reproductions in the "Early American" and Victorian style. Because the cast-iron sides at the time were often cast in independent foundries (often in Taiwan or Japan), there is usually no factory mark stamped directly into the metal.

Fully refurbished and ready to shine in your interior.
