Then push the window down and fold the mechanism towards yourself to lock. His house is two doors from mine and they date to about 1870's - unfortunately my sash windows were ripped out by a previous owner.
Interesting find Neil Title: Re: Ring ???? Post by: 150aceboy on February 21, 2010, 07:53:42 PM I think I'm with James on this one guys, found this pic on the web earlier, looks exactly the same.
