INTERIOR SUFFOLK THUMBLATCHES

H A N D - F O R G E D I R O N • H A N D C R A F T E D I N U . S . A .

Suffolk style thumblatches (A-D) were in common use throughout all of the colonies during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The “Bean Latch” (A) was the first and most popular design.

Originally made by English blacksmiths and imported here, the American smiths soon began producing these and many other designs. The cusp and handle styles eventually became as numerous as the craftsmen who made them and, we are pleased to offer a selection of four popular designs.

A complete thumblatch set
has 4 separate parts.
