This steel arm and adapter style casket handle is common on wood caskets. This type of arm hinges on a patented 3-hole pattern and can be connected to a simple single adapter or a pair of arms can be used with a lug. The arm is secured to the outside of a wood casket with single or double lug or bracket. The arm is wrapped around a round dowel handle made from wood or steel.

This arm is a 1-1/4 round profile.  If you are purchasing or making your own dowel handles, you will want the outside precisely 1-1/4 diameter.

This swing bar is the real vintage. We've partnered with General Machinery & Mfg. Co. of Chicago to revive these unique vintage parts--some of which have not been produced since the 1940s. Learn more about these vintage parts by reading about our suppliers.

The first thing you will notice when you receive these parts is that the steel is higher quality and heavier gage than many similar brackets made by others. This type of arm is an adapter design. The bracket is secured to the side of the casket with single or double lug or bracket. The arm hinges on a patented 3-hole pattern.
