Maybe a drawer handle

found this at an old one room school house today. Not sure what it is but Im guessing it might be a decorative drawer handle. Anybody know?

They are calling it a drawer handle on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-CAST-IRON-VICTORIAN-1869-PULL-HANDLE-PART-3-/380332596537

Yep. Have seen almost identical still in use.

There is a patented drawer pull issued Nov 9, 1869 but the picture was not preserved. http://www.google.com/patents?id=rO...=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

If you want to be more specific in the style, it is Victorian Eastlake. Nice find, Breezie
