Furniture Hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock. The image shows a collection of brass and gold-toned metal hardware pieces. The pieces are arranged in four rows. The top row has two curved pieces, one above the other, both with holes at each end. To the right of the curved pieces is a small rectangular piece with two holes. The second row from the top has a long thin piece on the left with a hole at one end, a small octagonal piece with a latch in the center above a handle-like piece. The third row from the top has three pieces: a U-shaped piece, a rectangular piece with a latch-like protrusion in the center and two pieces on either side with two holes each. The bottom row has a small black piece with two holes on the left, a large rectangular piece with a latch-like protrusion in the center and two holes on either side, and a long thin piece on the right with a screw at the bottom and a hook at the top. The background is a light blue-gray color.
