Harry Potter fans will likely recognize the name of this gothic property as a filming location. The bottom ring on the brooch is articulated to move just like the one on the original door knocker. Marked Silson on the back. We believe this piece dates to the late 1930s Measures about 3" long and 2 3/8" wide. There is some tarnishing that gives this unique piece vintage character; excellent condition overall. Not a commonly found Silson item. See less
