RARE Vintage Axel HasselstrømSolid Cast Brass Door Knocker
MADE IN DENMARK
New Old Stock with original Danish tags.
This quality door knocker was manufactured in the 1970s by
the vintage Danish brass Maker Axel Hasselstrøm A/S.
It is made out of solid, high quality heavy Danish-made brass.
This is not the lightweight, thin, low-quality brass that comes
from places like India, China, Mexico and Pakistan.
See the Danish flag tag that says "Messing"
Messing is Danish for brass.
Door knocker has an aged brass finish with some antiquing to it.
Features a man carrying a large bag or sack over his shoulder.
There is a banner over him with lettering inside.
I do not know what it says.
After looking at several of these door knockers, the best
I can decipher the letters, they look to me like they say:
MET. PEVEEV. DYE. WEERELT. 1667
Approximate Measurements:
5.75 Inches Tall
About 4-3/4 Inches Wide, at widest points
and
about 1-1/4 Inches deep or thick
HEAVY FOR ITS SIZE! Weights vary per piece.
The two pictures show weighs of 1 LB 9.5 ounces
and 1 LB 12.4 Ounces, UNPACKED!
Has two holes on mounting bracket. MOUNTING SCREWS NOT INCLUDED.
I would recommend using appropriately long brass screws to support
the weight of the door knocker.
HISTORY:
What a find!
Imported from Denmark directly by my parents, who were importers.
I will be listing multiple door knockers that were found inside a
wooden crate with their original Danish plastic bags and tags on them.
I removed the plastic bags to take detailed pictures.
PLEASE REFER TO PICTURES AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
