Antique Brass Casters are a historic stem type style. Stem requires minimal install-space, making this style ideal for furniture with thin narrow legs. They were often used on Victorian parlor chairs and small 19th century tables.
These reproduction casters are brass with a steel stem. Substantial fork and wheel are solid brass. Finish is darkened to look old. Stem-type is known as a spiral-threaded Philadelphia drive stem.
