S.S. United States Aluminum Grand Stairway Hand Rails
Located in Hudson, NY

On the heels of WW II, the U S Government saw the need to have modern ships that could be easily converted to troop transport ships in wartime constructed with safety and speed as the top priorities. They worked in partnership with the United States Line and underwrote a great deal of the liner's finished cost of 72 million as well as the future operating and maintenance cost of this proud symbol of her country and her age. The designer of the ship William Francis Gibbs had to incorporate the requirements of the government into his designs for the great liner. From her knife-edge bow across the superstructure and a pair of massive blue white and red raked funnels to the perfect arc of her stern, she sat proudly in the water and conveyed a sense of movement and speed even when still.

Four Georgian Wrought Iron Railing Lengths with Hand-Formed Circular End Finials
Located in London, GB
A set of four lengths of Georgian hand wrought iron railings with hoop style tops and circular hand formed end finials to each section.
They are made from wrought iron so they are extremely strong and much stronger than cast iron and wrought iron requires little maintenance and defends rust and corrosion very well unlike cast iron, so they could be left to give the original look that they are. The end upright flat bars are heavy gage and perfect for fixing to a wall or a post. There is a top, middle and bottom heavy gage horizontal flat bar which join to the end uprights and hold the round bar and everything in place.
To each corner end at the base there are small lugs which could be slotted into the floor and then the lower flat bar screwed...
