Many of our cast iron products are fashioned from popular antiques. Antique door stops and boot scrapers were necessary everyday items during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Before air conditioning home owners would ventilate their homes by opening the windows and doors. See how important a heavy object would have been to keep the winds from slamming the doors shut. Unique patterns were available at the local shore to tempt the shoppers. The boot scraper was also very important to help clean your shoes before entering the home. Streets were not paved so the bootscraper would help remove the dust and even mud from boots and shoes. We do take a lot for granted these days. |
