Research notes

A small, heavier-weight old-brass scrolled drop with an Art Nouveau-style form. The source identifies these as vintage old-brass stampings uncovered from an old East Coast warehouse and describes the design as coming from tooling created around the turn of the 20th century. The source also relays a story that the warehouse was later destroyed by a tornado and that many original master tools were lost; Tiny Mischief treats that story as seller-provided history rather than independently verified provenance.

Well supported
