Tiebacks > Side Mount/ Offset > 801-O English rattail™

(ca 1730-present)

shutter tieback - english rattail“English Rattail”™ Offset tieback. Quite a few early examples exist of offset rattail tiebacks. Those that I’ve seen are rather clumsy and awkward forgings that incorporate a 90˚ bend at the fastener hole. The Brandywine Forge offset is unique in that we decided to just roll the tail to the side rather than the front. It’s a simple and inexpensive solution that works. The edge of the rattail protrudes beyond the width of the body and holds the shutter from the edge… done.
