historic hardware replication & casting

marshall building chicagoThis is a photo from a wonderful restoration project in Chicago, Illinois of a Benjamin Marshall building.

We have removed hardware samples for sculpting, pattern making, foundry work, machining and finishing.  Some of the doors are over 11 feet tall and the entry doors will be made (back to 2 1/4″ as the originals were).  Look for more photos of our work on this project.
