Furniture Hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock. The image shows a collection of various brass and gold-toned metal hardware pieces arranged on a light blue surface. A long thin rectangular piece with a hole at one end is on the left. To its right is a small octagonal piece with a rectangular cutout. Above these are two curved pieces, one larger than the other. Below them are several pieces including a handle, hinges, latches, and brackets. On the right side is a long screw-like piece with a curved end, and a small hook. The pieces are arranged in no particular order, but are generally grouped by type. Some pieces have screws or holes for mounting. The background is a plain light blue color.
