Up for sale is a genuine antique cast iron door mail slot plate, perfect for architectural restoration projects or adding a touch of vintage character to a classic front door.
This heavy-duty piece features an inward-opening, spring-loaded flap mechanism that remains fully functional. The reverse side reveals original foundry pattern numbers—stamped '931' on the main housing frame and '271' on the flap itself—highlighting its authentic manufacturing history.
Importantly, the item retains its original mounting setup, complete with two removable rear hanger bolts, square nuts, and washers. Because the bolts completely unscrew from the threaded bosses, cleaning or adjusting the piece for installation is highly straightforward. The exterior surfaces carry a heavily distressed, weathered off-white paint finish with natural oxidation spots, offering an authentic rustic look or serving as an excellent base for a full restoration project.
Condition: Good antique condition. Mechanically functional spring flap. Heavy paint chipping and surface rust consistent with age and architectural exposure. Please review photos closely for full cosmetic details.
