Set of 2 Antique Cast Iron Casement Window Stays – Adjustable Swing Arm Brackets

Description :
This matched set of two cast iron casement window stays features a pivoting arm design with integrated bolts and slotted mounting plates. Each bracket measures 5 ⅛" H x 1 ¾" W x 4 ⅜" D and includes the original rotating fasteners, designed to allow window sash movement while securing it in an open or closed position. Layers of aged paint and surface rust speak to decades of exposure and use, enhancing their authenticity. These are ideal for restoring early 20th-century steel or wood casement windows, or for use in creative vintage repurposing.
