Antique Bronze or Brass Crescent Moon Door Knocker.
This is heavy metal at 14 oz. Looks and feels bronze but could be brass, nonmagnetic. 2 Mounting holes, no screws included. Back plate measures 5″ tall by 1 1/2″ wide. Total depth is 2″. The Moon is 5″ tall x 4″ wide. Fun piece, just lift the moon and let go and the weight strikes well.
Has wear from age/ storage with scratches, scuffs, tarnishing, verdigris, Imperfection from casting process, nice Patina and still looks great! Hard to find one similar. Looks antique with very old casting. Joint has play as all antique knockers but secure and in working condition. The striker that hits the back plate, hits around bottom hole so may of had has a special bolt, but long gone so will hit screw area unless you have a nice antique bolt with large head. Striker does sway left and right so this looks pretty old. Far from perfect but still so cool!
Guessing made late 1800’s early 1900’s. Cool Old Metal Crescent Moon Door Knocker!! Please check pictures for description and condition.
