Additional Details

This closely resembles a series of mirror posts or curtain tie-backs produced by Battersea, but they are usually seen with 3-inch brass posts intended to be screwed into a wall. The present example has no mounting apparatus--either it was issued without the post, or the post has been removed for display purposes.
