Branford Sash Lift

Branford Sash Lift

Decorative hook type window sash lift. Made by Branford Lock Works. It is made of cast iron with a bronze plating. Most of the plating appears to be intact. The lift is a bit oversized with a broad hook and shaped, intricately decorated base (the design is extremely similar to Penn's 1910 Yucca design). The lift measures 2 1/2"w x 1 1/8"h to the top of the plate part. The attachment holes are 1 5/8" center to center. It is marked BLW (Branford Lock Works) on the back.

This Branford Sash Lift is an antique item and may show wear due to age. This may include scratches, pitting, patina, finish loss, rust or other general wear. We attempt to include any significant damage beyond regular wear within the description. We make every effort to clean as much paint, dirt and rust off of items while still leaving as much of the original patina as possible. Photos shown are of actual item you will receive. If multiples are ordered, a photo of additional pieces will be sent for approval. 

Branford Lock Works

Branford Lock Works began in 1852 as Squire and Parsons Manufacturing Company after a failed stove business left the factory in Branford, CT. available for lock making. The company was purchased in 1862 by Thomas Kennedy and incorporated as Branford Lock Works in 1865. In 1894, Yale & Towne purchased the company. In 1910, a strike consequently closed the plant and operations moved to the Yale and Towne headquarters in Stamford, CT.
