Antique Griswold Cast Iron Stove Pipe Dampers – Set of 2

Description :
This matched set of two antique cast iron stove pipe dampers was manufactured by Griswold and features bold raised lettering reading “GRISWOLD,” “STEEL SPINDLE,” and “AMERICAN” on the circular damper plates. Designed to regulate airflow within stove pipes, each damper includes its original steel spindle with spring handle and pointed end for insertion. The surfaces show heavy, honest rust and wear consistent with long-term use, giving the set a strong industrial and utilitarian character. These pieces are well-suited for restoration projects, historic stove displays, industrial décor, or creative reuse in architectural or sculptural installations.
