Jerry Simon 38 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 A new one for me; 1950 era window latch. Allows for latching while sash is partially raised. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les 80 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Pretty nifty! Ironically, I first saw ne of these a million years ago in Oak Park, Il. Then again in Austin, Il I have never seen one in Michigan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 153 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 It's cool looking, but what's the point? A properly balanced sash should stay wherever you put it anyway. As far as security goes, once you lift up the sash more than an inch or so, anyone can just stick a finger in there and unlatch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Katen 153 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Who was it on this forum that posted a picture of his mother, as a toddler, sitting on a 2nd floor windowsill with her feet dangling from the sill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Amaral 7 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Isn't that the famous "Dubrovnik" latch designed by Ygeny Dubrovnik (after he left the Comintern Window Plant in Ubetyuras?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 153 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 It might have been the latch that allowed him to escape I mean, leave, the plant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
