Decorative metal casket handle adapters were common on American caskets built in the 1920s through the 1950s.

We ventured to northwest neighborhoods of Old Chicago just off West Fullerton Avenue--an historical area home to dozens of legacy machine shops, as well as furniture and clothing manufacturers.
