Porcelain & Cast Iron Subway Strap Hanger

Description

Welcome to my listing for:
Porcelain & Cast Iron Subway Strap Hanger
These cast iron models were used starting about 1904-1905 after the leather "strap" version that were used in the first cars in the late 1800's - then starting in the 1950's, they were changed again to non-cast iron options. Today of course, nobody wants to touch what is in use now:) As with most of these cast iron hangers, they are solid and seem like they will last forever. This one has a tiny wear spot on the porcelain (see 2nd photo) and the cast iron could use some oil treatment to make the luster of the iron shine. It's as heavy as it looks at over 4 lbs and measures a little over 17" long. The porcelain handle measures 5" across at its widest.
