01636 cast iron Window Counterweights
Many older houses were built with manually operated double hung windows which used cast iron counterweights to make up for the weight of the window. These weights do and did an important job, making it much easier to open and close the window, but also holding the window in place if it was only to be opened part way. Otherwise a stick or a prop rod would be needed to hold the window up in position without having it fall to the bottom, and possibly crash and break the glass. Many of the ropes on these counterweights would deteriorate and break and many never got fixed. And in today's day and age, people don't want these old windows any more, so they get taken out and thrown away in favor of more modern vinyl replacement windows which are supposed to be more energy efficient.
