Item #3: The Iron Flue Damper
Now, take a look at this iron piece with stamping on both sides. The iron plate swivels along an iron post with a spiraled end. Any ideas?
If you thought it was an iron flue damper, you’re spot on! These iron flue dampers are still in use today, although we rarely see them. Antique shopping gives us the joy of discovering interesting objects that are part of our history. It’s like stepping back in time!
Item #4: The Victorian Shop Dispenser
Feast your eyes on this metal box with ornate gold stenciling and a beveled glass front. It even has a small sliding door with a picture of some dogs. What do you think it was used for?
