About the Item

Antique Industrial 8- Inch Cast Bronze Bolt with Nut from Brooklyn Bridge* USA, Circa 1880-1883 This antique industrial cast bronze bolt with a nut, measuring 8 inches high and 2 inches square, is a rare and historic artifact reputedly from the original construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, circa 1880-1883. According to its provenance, it was inherited from a family member who worked on the bridge, and it is believed to be a leftover carriage bolt used during the iconic structure’s initial build. Beautifully cast and preserved, this piece has a rich patina and reads like a sculpture in person, making it a unique collector’s item for both industrial history enthusiasts and those fascinated by New York City’s architectural legacy. The bolt itself measures 7 inches long with a 2-inch top and 1-inch shaft, while the accompanying nut measures 2 inches square and 1.5 inches high. This historically significant find is a tangible connection to the engineering marvel that is the Brooklyn Bridge, offering a glimpse into 19th-century American craftsmanship and industrial design. Overall measurements: Together 8-inches high x 2 inches square Bolt alone 7-inches long x 2 inches top x 1-inch shaft Nut 2-inches square x 1.5-inches high.
