English Rattail™
(ca 1730-present)
 The “English
Rattail”™ shutter tieback is my interpretation
of the most common tieback in the Colonial cities.
Manufactured in England
and imported to the American ports, countless variations of the pattern still
grace the historic streets of Philadelphia , New York , and the other coastal
cities.
We’ve reproduced dozens of variants on this pattern and have
seen twice that many others as well. I rolled together different elements from
what I felt were the best early examples and came up with this pattern back
in the early 80’s.
It’s been used on quite a few national park
service projects. It’s hand hammered from a 1” x ¼” bar
and a very three dimensional example of nice forge work.
