An attractive Eighteenth Century design that 
is more decorative than serviceable 
Knockers of the flat kind are in greater favor 
with most people as being less obtrusive 
The stern old tiger with the heavy ring in 
his mouth is one of the oldest types

A certain distinctive air about this modern 
knocker suggests a long history 
The eagle with the suspended door ring 
appeared soon after the Revolution 
Wrought iron affords a large field for good 
workmanship in knockers old and new 
This familiar kind is obtainable in polished 
brass in clever copies of the old work 
A considerably different knocker brought 
over from ^Vales about 1800
