A Collection of Maritime and Industrial Hardware Including a Wooden Snatch Block and Bronze Fittings - A collection of maritime and industrial hardware comprising a heavy-duty snatch block and various bronze, brass, and steel components. The single-sheave snatch block is constructed with dark-stained wooden cheeks and features a hinged steel side plate for rope insertion, terminating in a large swivel eye. The metal plate bears an embossed circular mark containing the characters A and M separated by a vertical line; a model or serial number is present below the central bolt but is not clearly legible due to surface pitting. The lot includes several bronze-style maritime fittings displaying a heavy green verdigris patina, notably a boat hook head with curved tines and a hollow socket, and two large deck cleats with twin mounting holes. Also present is a group of smaller brass and bronze-style furniture and utility pieces, including a T-handle valve, various shackles, rings, and a door or hatch handle with an integrated circular mounting rose and original bolts. The items are housed in an rectangular green-painted metal utility box.
