Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings Northwest coast native and with the original instructions

and with the original instructions for teaching use included

pretty impossible not to want to take care of

I’ve really fallen in love with the look of late 19th century croquet posts

On the backside is paper stamp dated 1916

Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings Northwest coast native and with the original instructionsThese just struck me as a very beautiful pair, one ring fitting inside the other, neither quite round, the larger one a bit fatter than the smaller. Nice objects for the desk or table, useful as paperweights, satisfying to hold, and just lovely. Larger measures 4 11 16" across, 7 16" thick. Smaller 3" across and 5 16" thick. Hand forged, with lots of years on them, with nice surface variation as a result. Sold as a pair.
