Description from the seller
Very decorative iron pulley. The pulley dates from the early 20th century (though it could also date from the late 19th century). It weighs approximately 7.5 kg. It is about 38 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. The hook is forged. It is forged around the housing (a clevis hook). The housing and the wheel are probably made of cast iron. The whole assembly is riveted together with steel pins, and there is a cotter pin in the middle to prevent the steel axle from slipping out of the wheel.
The pulley has a very beautiful patina. The shine visible in the photos comes from beeswax rubbed onto the iron.
The pulley is still in excellent condition. All the metal is still robust and sturdy. None of the iron is unstable. It has been well preserved. The wheel still turns smoothly. You could still use it to hoist heavy loads! A particularly nice detail is a number hand-scratched into the neck. The number appears to be 8292, although the third digit is not very legible. It was probably scratched there by a worker to give the pulley an inventory number.
These types of heavy pulleys were used in ports, as well as in industry, to hoist heavy loads. Chains and steel cables were often used for this purpose instead of hemp ropes.
This pulley could still be used as a pulley, but it is also a very attractive antique decorative object. You could also hang kitchen utensils from it (large cutlery, for example), or a lamp.
The pulley will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
Seller's Story
I generally sell antiques and vintage products. But also products, sometimes from the 21st century, that I find particularly appealing. The products I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from telephones to wooden carvings, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat hooks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually items that I personally find beautiful and that are of high quality. It often costs me to part with them!
My expertise lies mainly in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes in combination with paper filling material, or plastic filling material that is inside boxes that are sent to me. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days after purchase. I place great value on a friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
