Tiebacks > Historic Examples > 857 Propeller Head™
(ca 1732)

“Propeller Head” came to mind the first time I picked up the original piece. It reminded me of those 1930’s beanie hats with a propeller on top. This particular example is based on an original from a little church in Maryland that dates from 1732. The originals were surprisingly tiny and felt like they’d been made from snippets of left-over iron. I assumed they were made and donated by a local blacksmith parishioner, so I gave them to the church too.
