I believe it's a brass drawer pull and that's about all I know. It's in good shape except for being tarnished and has a few scratches but no cracks, dings or dents. Seems to have original screws with it.
This is a really cool photo album. It is padded cloth with a knights silhouette on the front. Inside there is several photos Victorian style. Most appear to be from the 1880's - 1890's. I believe most photos were taken in the Midwest. There are several from Iowa, Topeka ks, Lawrence Kansas and so forth. Several of them have beautiful cabinet cards on the back. Considering how old this is I think it is in really great condition... If anybody has any idea on a value possibly or even what this kind of photo album is called that would be great. Thank you
