Description: An original and larger size U.S. Patent Model of a gate with a door latch submitted to the patent office by inventor C.C. Holcomb in 1868. This invention is from the well documented Cliff Petersen collection and was sold at Christie’s. Partial old patent label, Petersen documentation, and Christie’s sticker included with model. The attached Christie’s sticker is incorrect and was misplaced. The correct lot number is 2 from the 1996 Christie’s auction, see the attached picture…thank you to the eBay member who pointed this out! The door swings open and close and it would lock in place by a latch which is no longer present. Might have been used as a salesman sample before or after submission. Overall in good condition and intact. Typical surface wear from handling, patina to surfaces, rub marks and small scattered bumps/losses, etc. Please see all photos for condition. A fine piece to add to your collection! Approx. 12.5” l x 13” t x 3.75” d at widest points Ships well packed and fully insured!!!
