Description: A primitive five-piece architectural salvage lot of heavy antique cast iron replacement components. The grouping is divided into two distinct functional hardware types: a matching pair of structural ball-and-claw style bathtub feet, and a group of three independent figural parlor stove legs. The three stove legs include an ornate scrolled cabriole leg featuring a deeply distressed dark patina, a whimsical figural leg molded into a hand-painted yellow and green stylized bird or animal head caricature, and a wide-flared pedestal stove support finished in an industrial red and white spatter or sponge-painted finish.
Dimensions: The two matching ball-and-claw bathtub feet stand 5.5 inches tall by 5.25 inches wide, with a total length of 6 inches. The yellow figural bird stove leg stands 5.75 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. The red-spattered flared support pedestal measures 5.75 inches high by 5.5 inches wide across the foot margin.
Markings: The inner open-recess channels of the matching ball-and-claw feet are deeply cast with the foundry code "300" along the mounting bracket, accompanied by an under-neck casting signature string reading "AMP'D FOR" nested beside a circular mold stamp code letter "G". The interiors of the three stove legs feature raw black iron casting channels with factory mounting bolt voids and integrated stabilization tabs.
Condition: Weathered antique salvage condition. All five heavy cast iron pieces are structurally solid, rigid, and completely free of large structural fractures, structural welds, or metal fatigue cracks. The matching ball-and-claw feet show advanced rustic surface oxidation, a beautiful dark brown weathered patina, and significant historic flaking to an early cream-colored paint layer on one foot as shown in the catalog photos. The three parlor stove legs exhibit varied estate paint wear; the yellow bird leg retains vibrant hand-painted details with light edge scuffs, the dark scrolled leg has extensive iron scale oxidation, and the red-spattered foot shows classic paint thinnings and dry interior casting residue.
