Description

(Ca. 1930) Benjamin Franklin portrait drawer pull by Israel Sack, New York. Brass door pull mounted on brass screw with square nut. Pull 39 mm in diameter, hardware 67 mm long.

Bust of Franklin to left with BENn FRANKLIN. L.L.D. around, copying Betts-545 of ca. 1762. While original versions of this drawer pull exist, they are extremely rare; the vast majority around are of this 1930 version by Israel Sack. This example shows good golden bronze color, glossy fields, and some central concavity from an invisible dent. Sack offered these in the July 1930 issue of Antiques.

From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from George LaBarre at the 1976 ANA, New York City, August 1976.

Estimate: $400
