All items/parcels valued at a total of £25.00 or more sent outside the UK will have the cost of tracking added to the postage. No exceptions will be made to this rule.

On offer is a vintage solid brass door knocker depicting the "Cutty Sark" - a famous British tea clipper. The door knocker has been used but is still in really nice condition. Please look carefully at all the pictures as they form part of the item description.The knocker has an overall length of about 4¼" (11cm) and is just over 1½" (4cm) across at the widest part. It weighs about 115gms. The piece is nicely detailed and has the name of the "Cutty Sark" in a banner beneath the ship - the ship's name is a bit worn from cleaning. The fixing plate is decorated at the top with what looks like a lighthouse.I can't find any makers name on the fixing plate but there is something stamped on the back of the knocker. I think it might be "Peerage" but I'm really not sure. There is some tarnish and also remnants of old polish but I haven't tried to clean this since it came into my possession. !!!Please look at all the pictures as they form part of the item description!!!
