Description :
This 6.5 lb rectangular cast iron sash weight is a classic example of early architectural hardware, crafted to support the smooth movement of sash windows through counterbalancing. The flat-sided form makes it ideal for tighter wall cavities or restoration projects requiring space-efficient profiles. Its time-worn surface, with pitting and rust, reveals decades of use and age. Equipped with a drilled hole for easy cord attachment, it’s suitable for both functional and creative repurposing.
