Vintage pear or apple with leaf brass or cast iron door knocker! Fabulous!

This is such a delightful primitive door knocker! At first I thought I called it an apple, but it's clearly a pear! It measures almost 6" long and is quite heavy. It has the look and feel of cast iron to me, but I'm just not sure. It's been wonderfully painted, although it's lost some of the original paint over the decades. It's very well built, with a nice sturdy two hole attachment on the back! All original and delightfully primitive Americana! It's really overcast today, so have to use 'artificial' light which makes things looks kind of washed out. Please know that this is SO much finer than my photos show!  Please take a minute to check out the great sale in my store!

SMALL PRINT:   The vast majority of my merchandise is vintage, meaning previously owned.  I am not an expert in any field of collecting so I take the best photos I can and describe items to the best of my ability.  I don't need to tell you that two people can view the same item and see it completely differently! Please check out my photos carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding or buying!   Thanks so much!!
