Circa 1907 Cast Iron File Handle

This is an early 20th Century cast iron file handle (sometimes referred to as “bird cage” or “skeleton” design handles). It's one of three I currently own, all in great shape with no cracks (a common problem in these old files), and all run about 5" in length. An on-line search found a 1907 publication with what appears to be an identical handle, and that the Millers Falls Co. was offering these handles are early as 1891.
