Antique Cast Iron String Holder wood_book_bookends A midcentury Collier's Encyclopedia AdvertisingA wonderful antique cast iron string holder. The circa late 1800s string holder includes a skein of vintage string! In very good antique condition, the string holder measures approximately 9 1 2" x 6" x 3 1 2". Screw holes for mounting on a counter, a nice reminder of the days before paper bags, when everyone's purchases were wrapped in paper and string.
