Brass Impish Bearded Man Door Knocker shawl The box is pretty beatenI'm not exactly sure the origins of this impish bearded character, who looks a bit Scandanavian to me, but certainly he makes a fun little door knocker, I believe intended for an interior door. Sure to keep unwanted visitors at bay! He's definitely got some years on him but is in great condition with a nice patina. 3 1 8" tall x 1 1 2" wide x 1" thick.
