262554 Guy in Florida <mill15716athollow@g...> 2017‑06‑24 Please help ID this item
I came across this little fellow at an estate sale.
It's at once familiar but it's not!
Any ideas what it is called or used for?
I hope it's gallotish enough for this group.
Thanks all
Brother Lou

Reminds me of the weight you might find on the end of the stick in an old
home  to open a transom window or something like that?

I was thinking some sort of decorative weight, a sash weight or maybe for a
clock.

I just found out it is a curtain cord weight.
Thanks for your feedback!

Lou,


Just how much does this "curtain cord weight" actually weigh? What sort of
antique curtain system used these weights? Maybe a pointer to an example?


By "curtain cord", do you mean a cord to traverse the curtains?
