22: EARLY 20C. SELF-CLOSING STOCK YARD GATE PATENT MODEL

The solid walnut model with gate and mechanism constructed from nickel operates efficiently. A strong pull downward pops the gate forward swinging on its apparatus with enough force that the thrust sends it into the alternate position where it stays. There are no markings.
Very good condition throughout, no damage, repair or heavy wear.
Provenance: John Royle Trust and Living Estate, Independence, Missouri.
