Set of 7 Antique Brass Window Nite Latches – 2 ½" x 1 ⅜" x 1"

Description :
This set of 7 antique solid brass window nite latches was originally designed for double-hung sash windows. Measuring 2 ½" long x 1 ⅜" wide x 1" deep, each latch features a rotating cam lever that securely locks the upper and lower sash together. These pieces are made from solid cast brass with a beautifully aged patina and offset base design, characteristic of early 20th-century window hardware. The offset form allowed for a snug, secure fit between sash rails of differing profiles.

Their sturdy brass construction and smooth mechanical action made them a mainstay in early 20th-century homes.
