Description :
This 7 lb rectangular cast iron window sash weight was designed for use in older sash window systems where compact and flat-sided weights were necessary to fit within narrow wall cavities. It includes a drilled hole at one end for easy sash cord attachment and retains a rough, rusted finish that highlights its age and utilitarian history. This piece is perfect for period-correct window restorations or creative reuse in industrial decor and functional builds.
