Item Details
Description
  • Title: US Patent Model for Window Guard, 1874
  • Provenance: Be the first on your block to have one: a U.S. Patent Model for a Window Guard to prevent children from falling out of windows. The device is U.S. Patent No.153,260 dated 7/21/1874 (thanks to my daughter Abbie's great research skills!). There is an old label (dated 1874) attached: “G. Konigsberg, Device for preventing children from falling out of windows. May 9”. G Konigsberg is listed as the "Inventor." There is also a second partial label with a date of July 21 attached. All of this info matches the data on the Patent Document. The device measures 12” x 6 ½” x 3 ½” and the window frames move slightly up and down (there is an old nail that keeps them from moving more than an inch or so). Probably the original finish and no cracks, breaks, etc. There is also an old auction label from O. Rundle Gilbert, Garrison on the Hudson, NY; this piece was in a 1978 auction Gilbert held featuring 1000 “Authentic US Patent Models.” Definitely for someone who like Quirky things!
