Tiebacks >1920's - Present > 855 Floral “S”™
(ca 1996-present)

You don’t see many forged “S” tiebacks because they’re tough to make at the anvil. Cookie-cut “S” tiebacks came into being around the 1920’s and are still very popular.

I decided that if I were an 18 th century smith and was going to the trouble to forge an “S”, I’d spend a little more time and add some detail. Flowers look nice around a house, so I added a Pennsylvania German stylized tulip as the terminations of the “S”.

We cut this piece from 1/8” plate in mild or stainless steel. It isn’t really forged, but it’s not so plain and that’s where the pattern & name came from.
