Casket Handles
$ 75.00
There are a few handles in stock which are extra from the casting.
When I started this quest, we had a full hardware set at my disposal to make molds from. That included a set of handles for a double casket. Some caskets had side handles and/or a top handle to use to carry the piece. These are PURELY DECORATIVE and not to be used to carry the casket.
There are two handle sizes - small and large. The small one is 2 3/8" long and the large is 3" long. They come with the two escutcheons and the cotter pins to install as well as the four nails per escutcheons to nail them onto the box.
I will be offering the set of them on installment payments as well as they will be a pre-buy. I want to do only one casting of these and so on November 1st, 2019 I will put in the casting order and then will fulfill any paid in full or installment orders once they arrive. Tin and Brass are offered.
There is a long description on the blog of the handles, their installation and use, as well as pictures of them on different casket sides/tops and sizes so you can decide if and what you would be interested in ordering
