Wirework, whisks, bread nails and other items were made by both hobos and wire factories. In the parish of Gnosjö in Småland, wirework was already being made at the end of the 18th century. Initially, it was a sideline for farmers and crofters, but towards the end of the 19th century, wirework was also made by some metal factories.

The ‘wire jackets’ were made of iron wire, sometimes tinned, bought in hardware stores or from wire drawing shops. The tool, a pair of pliers, was easy to carry in your pocket. Whisks, window hooks, pot racks and iron feet were sold or exchanged for food or overnight accommodation. More elaborate bread baskets and candlesticks were sometimes decorated with wool yarn in bright colors.

Set-up hook in sturdy wirework. Makes it possible to adjust a window from “slightly ajar” to half open. Old model from Torsåker, Gästrikland.

Black, ungalvanized iron wire. Length 16-32cm.

Brass is an alloy (mixture) of copper and zinc. In Swedish brass (as in our fittings), the copper content is around 70% and the zinc content around 30%, which makes the fittings heavy and solid and the brass color deep.

Raising plate Weatherstripping fn 5mm

An elevation plate or spacer plate is often needed when installing a weatherization fitting on inward opening windows. The thickness of the sash and the distance to the window frame can vary and an elevation plate helps to mount in a neat way. Usually there is a difference of about 5-20 mm and then you need to buy corresponding elevation plates to ensure a good installation.

Elevation washers may also be needed when installing weatherization fittings for outward opening windows. For example, when you have stucco or profiles in the window sash or window sill that do not allow you to mount the weatherization fitting where you want.

Very suitable for use in combination with Gysinge’s wool sealing strips.
